What this form is
This affidavit is required when a property owner or tenant appears before a public hearing to request zoning changes, variances, or other land-use approvals. The form confirms the applicant's legal interest in the property and attests that all application information is truthful and complete. Florida law requires sworn statements in zoning proceedings to ensure hearing integrity and to subject false testimony to perjury penalties.
Who needs it
Property owners or tenants who are seeking zoning variances, conditional-use permits, or other land-use approvals at a Miami-Dade public hearing.
Why it needs a notary
Notarization is required because this is an affidavit sworn under oath; the notary administers the oath, witnesses the signature, and verifies the affiant's identity to ensure the statement's legal validity.
