Frequently asked questions

- Fill in the property owner’s name and project address, review the statements, and sign the affidavit while taking an oath before a commissioned online notary. The notary completes the jurat.

- Yes. The form says Building Inspection requires a site plan showing setbacks for all pools. It also notes that Floyd County Health Department approval may be required.

- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own. Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states (O.C.G.A. §44-2-21), but this form calls for a sworn jurat; confirm with the city if unsure.
