What this form is
The packet collects project, property, contractor, and work-scope details for a building permit application, along with plans and other information requested for review. Its homeowner and subcontractor affidavits state that the signer holds a checked state license and accepts responsibility for the job; the packet says these must be notarized and submitted before inspections involving electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work. It also includes an applicant affidavit about eligibility for a public benefit.
Who needs it
Property owners and contractors applying for a Grantville building permit, plus homeowners or subcontractors whose electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work requires an affidavit before inspection.
Why it needs a notary
The homeowner and subcontractor affidavits have sworn-to and subscribed-before-me jurats, and the public-benefit affidavit has a subscribed-and-sworn block; each applicant or affiant signs before the notary.

- How do I get an affidavit in this packet notarized online?

- Do I need to submit the affidavits before inspections?

- Can I use an online notary for a Grantville form?
