Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the Homeowner Affidavit notarized?
- Complete the form, then book with a commissioned online notary. Because Union City requires an original form with original signatures and a wet seal, check with the city before using a remotely notarized document.
- Do I need to sign the affidavit in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form has a sworn-and-attested section with a notary signature and seal field. The applicant must sign and swear before the notary.
- Will Union City accept an online-notarized affidavit?
- The form requires an original with original signatures and a wet seal and rejects copies and faxes. Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own; Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states under O.C.G.A. §44-2-21. Confirm acceptance with the city.
- What information does the affidavit ask for?
- It requests project and homeowner contact details, initials beside statements about the property and construction responsibilities, and the applicant’s sworn signature.
