Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the workers’ compensation affidavit notarized?
- If you intend to act as a general contractor or principal employer and choose the affidavit option, sign it before a commissioned online notary. Connecticut authorizes remote online notarization for its own notaries under Public Act 23-28, effective October 1, 2023.
- Do I need to notarize the entire demolition application?
- The packet’s notary block is for the workers’ compensation affidavit, not the entire application. The affidavit is conditional; the form also offers a choice to provide a workers’ compensation insurance certificate.
- What should I prepare before applying?
- The packet checklist calls for items such as owner and contractor signatures, adjoining-owner notices, utility releases, insurance documents, disposal details, and other project-specific materials. Review the checklist for your project.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- Connecticut authorizes remote online notarization by its own notaries under Public Act 23-28. Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-57 recognizes qualifying notarial acts performed outside Connecticut. Confirm the receiving office will accept your notarized affidavit; confirm with the town clerk if unsure.
