Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized parts of this application?
- Complete the relevant statements, but wait to sign the sworn portions until you meet with a commissioned online notary by video. Follow the city’s packet instructions for signatures, supporting documents, and filing.
- Do I need to appear before a notary for this packet?
- The disclosure statement and owner authorization include personally appeared and notary blocks, and the authorization states that the owner is duly sworn. Confirm which signers need notarization with the city if unsure.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- 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); ask the city whether it will accept your notarized documents.
- What else must I submit with the variance application?
- The packet lists a letter of intent, supporting documentation, a metes-and-bounds legal description, adjoining-property-owner information, certifications, current-tax verification, a digital copy, and the applicable fee. Check the packet for format and deadline details.
