Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the hardship variance application?
- Describe the property, requested zoning relief, and physical hardship; gather the listed supporting materials, complete the affidavit, and arrange notarization before submitting the packet to the city.
- Do I need to bring supporting documents?
- Yes. The checklist includes a fee, survey plat, scaled site plan, deed, and proof that property taxes are paid in full. Additional information or approvals may be required.
- Can I sign the affidavit with a commissioned online notary?
- Georgia has no remote online notarization statute of its own, and Georgia law recognizes acknowledgments taken by notaries of other states. Because this form uses a sworn jurat, confirm with the city if unsure.
- Does the property owner need to sign if someone else applies?
- The form includes a separate property owner authorization signature when the owner is not the applicant. Check that the required owner authorization is completed before filing.
