Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the certifications in this application?
- Complete the application first, then book an online session. The applicant and property owner, as applicable, must sign the designated certification or authorization blocks while appearing before a commissioned online notary.
- Do I need a notary for every signature on the application?
- The form identifies notarized signatures for the applicant and property-owner certifications, premises-inspection authorization, and applicant conflict-of-interest certification. Check which blocks apply to your filing.
- Can I use online notarization for this Snellville application?
- 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. Because this form includes sworn certifications, confirm with the city if unsure.

- The checklist calls for fees, ownership evidence, a property legal description, survey, site plan, letter of intent, applicable use standards, and other listed supporting materials. The department may reject an incomplete application.
