Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the homeowner permit affidavit?
- Complete the form, then sign it during a video session with a commissioned online notary. The notary completes the jurat after administering the oath; submit the notarized form with your permit request.
- Do I need to sign this affidavit in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form includes a sworn-and-subscribed jurat, so the applicant signs before a notary, who records the date and commission expiration.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this form in Georgia?
- 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 accepts this remotely notarized sworn affidavit.
- Who should I contact if the form names another city?
- The form’s indemnification language names the City of Monticello, although the request is for Gay. Contact the permitting office to confirm the correct destination and requirements; confirm with the city if unsure.
