Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the preliminary plat application?
- After the required concept meeting, complete and sign the application, then submit it to City Hall at least three weeks before the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting.
- Do I need a notary for this application?
- The application includes a truth-and-correctness certification, applicant signature, and Notary Public block. The included owner and third-party authorization forms also have Notary Public blocks.
- 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 under O.C.G.A. §44-2-21. Ask the city about its acceptance requirements; confirm with the city if unsure.
- Does the applicant have to attend the Planning Commission meeting?
- The instructions say the applicant’s presence is required so questions can be answered, and the Commission’s practice is to deny an application when the applicant is not present.
