What this form is
Melvindale’s Building Department requires this notarized form when a license holder cannot come in person to register or pull permits, or wants to authorize someone else to act as a permit representative. The form identifies the license holder and designees, states the authority granted, and sets an expiration date that cannot exceed the current registration date. If the license holder will handle applications by mail alone, the form instructs them to list themselves as the designee.
Who needs it
