Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the Union Point variance application?
- Fill in the application and provide the requested property, variance, and justification details. Include the listed supporting materials and complete the owner authorization only when the property owner is not the applicant.
- Do I need to notarize the variance application?
- The separate property-owner authorization includes a sworn statement and notary block. The form says to complete that section only if the property owner is not the applicant.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for the owner authorization?
- 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). Confirm with the city if unsure whether it will accept your notarized authorization.
- What materials does the application checklist request?
- The checklist names the application fee, a survey plat, a legal description or deed, and a site plan. It also allows for other information the Building Inspector may require.
