Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the Jasper business license application?

- Do I need to notarize the affidavits in this packet?
- The private employer affidavit, applicant affidavit, and landlord portion each show a notary acknowledgment block. The packet states that the notary public’s signature cannot be submitted electronically.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this form?
- 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. The packet says the notary signature cannot be submitted electronically, so confirm acceptance with the city before booking.
- What supporting items may the city require?
- The checklist names items such as a sales and use tax certificate for retail businesses, required state or federal licenses, a lease or landlord agreement, and completed affidavits. It also directs applicants to consult Planning & Zoning and complete other listed steps.
