Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the owner’s affidavit notarized?
- If you are applying for the property owner, have the owner complete and sign the affidavit before a commissioned online notary, then include it with the application.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- No. The packet identifies a notary acknowledgment on the owner’s affidavit, which is required when the applicant is not the property owner. The application signature itself has no notary block.
- Can I sign the owner’s affidavit with an online notary?
- New Hampshire authorizes remote online notarization for its notaries, and recognizes notarial acts performed by a notary public or other authorized officer of another state. Confirm with the town if unsure.
- What must I submit with the application?
- The packet calls for a completed application, an abutters list, required exhibits and plot plans, and applicable fees. Applications must reach the Land Use Office at least 30 days before the meeting to be considered for that meeting.
