Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the variance application affidavits notarized?
- Complete the application, then book a commissioned online notary. The applicant signs the sworn application affidavit on video; the property owner also signs the owner affidavit when the applicant is not the landowner.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The form identifies the applicant affidavit as needing notarization and includes a separate owner affidavit of authorization and consent when the applicant is not the landowner. Sign the applicable affidavit before the notary.
- Can I use remote online notarization for these affidavits?
- New Jersey has permanently authorized remote online notarization and remote ink notarization for its own notaries since October 2021. A commissioned online notary can notarize an affidavit remotely; confirm with the municipality if unsure.
