Frequently asked questions
- Which parts of the application need notarization?
- The plumber’s certification on page 4 and the contractor’s energy-code awareness certification on page 5 each say to sign before a Notary Public and include a subscribed-and-sworn jurat.
- Do I need to sign both certifications before a notary?
- The form directs the certified plumber to sign the plumbing certification and the contractor to sign the energy-code certification before a Notary Public. Confirm with the city or village if unsure.
- How do I complete the notarized certifications online?
- Complete the relevant fields, then book a commissioned online notary. Illinois authorizes electronic and remote notarization for its own notaries and recognizes notarial acts performed outside Illinois by an officer authorized where the act is performed. Check with Troy about submission requirements.
- When must the certifications be submitted?
- The form says the completed plumbing certification and energy-code awareness certification must be submitted to the Building & Zoning Department for approval before the permit will be issued.
