What this form is
This one-page application requests a Cedarhurst permit for proposed fence or hedge work and includes fields for the property, owner, contractor, and proposed work. The owner provides a plot diagram and copy of the survey, then swears to ownership and that the work will follow the approved application and plans. The affidavit also lets the owner authorize the applicant to apply for the permit.
Who needs it
Cedarhurst property owners seeking a fence or hedge permit, or owners authorizing someone else to apply, should complete the application and sworn affidavit.
Why it needs a notary
The property owner signs the sworn affidavit before a notary, completing the form’s jurat-style “Sworn to” block; the application also has a separate owner signature.
