Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the Affidavit of Accuracy online?
- Complete the affidavit, but wait to sign. Book a session with a commissioned online notary, show identification, and sign during the video appointment. Include the notarized affidavit with the complete application packet.
- Do I need to notarize the entire zoning map amendment application?
- The packet identifies Exhibit D, the Affidavit of Accuracy, as a sworn statement with a notary block. The person who created the nearby property-owner address list signs that affidavit; the packet does not identify the application itself as requiring notarization.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this affidavit?
- Illinois authorizes electronic and remote notarization by its own notaries under the Illinois Notary Public Act (5 ILCS 312) and recognizes notarial acts performed outside Illinois by an officer authorized where the act takes place (765 ILCS 30). Confirm with the city or village if unsure.
- What else does Geneva require with this application?
- The packet lists a $500 application fee and deposit, a narrative addressing the amendment standards, property information, an owner notification list and envelopes, a site plan or survey, and other required materials. Staff review begins after the submittal is complete.
