Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the building moving affidavits notarized?
- Complete the required affidavit, then book a session with a commissioned online notary. Sign during the video appointment and file the notarized affidavit with the City Clerk as required.
- Do I need to notarize the entire permit application?
- The form packet includes sworn affidavit blocks for hearing-notice compliance and moving-publication notice compliance. The affiant signs those affidavits before a notary; the application itself does not show a notary block.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this Nebraska form?
- Nebraska authorizes remote online notarization by its notaries under the Online Notary Public Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§64-401 to 64-420. Section 64-201 recognizes notarial acts by a notary or other authorized officer of another state.
- When must I file the application and affidavits?
- The application is due at least 21 calendar days before the Planning Commission meeting. The hearing-notice affidavits are filed with the City Clerk on the hearing date, and the moving-publication affidavit must be filed before the move. Confirm with the city if unsure.
