Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit a Flowood zoning application?
- Complete and notarize the application, gather the required supporting materials, and file the package with the zoning office by the listed deadline. The packet also explains property-owner notification and publication requirements.
- Do I need to sign the application before a notary?
- Yes. The checklist says the application must be completed, signed, and notarized. The applicant or applicants named in the acknowledgment sign before the notary.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this form?
