Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the homeowner agreement and affidavit notarized?
- Complete the applicable sections, then sign the agreement or affidavit before the notary. The form’s jurat says the signer subscribed and swore before a notary public.
- Do I need to notarize every part of this permit packet?
- The homeowner agreement and affidavit each have a notary jurat. The permit application itself has an applicant certification and signature, but no notary block in the supplied form text.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- Illinois authorizes electronic and remote notarization by its notaries under the Illinois Notary Public Act (5 ILCS 312) and recognizes acts by officers authorized where performed under the Uniform Recognition of Acknowledgments Act (765 ILCS 30). Confirm with the city or village if unsure.
- What must I do before work begins?
- The form says work must not start until the permit application is approved. It also says the permit must be publicly displayed during construction.
