What this form is

Stafford Township uses this package to identify materials needed for Planning Board review, including plans, fee and tax documents, ownership disclosures, and affidavits. The first 13 checklist items are required for administrative completeness before an application can be placed on the agenda; additional notice and proof-of-service items are due at least three days before the meeting. The package also states application cut-off dates and that the applicant must attend unless represented by an attorney.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of this application package need notarization?
The Affidavit of Ownership and Affidavit of Non-Collusion each include a “Sworn to and subscribed before me” notary jurat. The person making each affidavit signs and swears before the notary.
How do I get the affidavits notarized online?
Complete the form fields first, then book with a commissioned online notary. Sign and swear to the affidavits during the video session, following the notary’s instructions.
Do I need to notarize the entire application package?
The package includes two affidavits with notary jurats; the text does not indicate that every page or checklist item needs notarization. Ask the Township if you are unsure which documents to submit.
Can I use a 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. An authorized officer’s notarial act performed in another state has the same effect under New Jersey law. Confirm with the municipality if unsure.
When are the application materials due?
The first 13 checklist items are required before the application can be considered administratively complete. The package says additional notice and proof-of-service materials are due no less than three days before the meeting.
