Who needs it

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the owner’s statement notarized?
- Complete the application, but wait to sign the sworn owner statement until your notary instructs you to do so. After notarization, submit the application and required supporting materials to the Village.
- Do I need to notarize the entire permit application?
- The packet calls for a notarized owner affidavit and includes a sworn statement signed by the homeowner. The notary completes the jurat for that statement; the form does not indicate that every page must be notarized.
- Can I sign the owner statement with a commissioned online notary?
- New York authorizes remote online notarization by a commissioned online notary under Executive Law §135-c, in effect since 2023. Confirm with the city, town or village if unsure whether it will accept a remotely notarized document.
- What should I prepare before submitting the application?
- The packet lists signed and sealed construction plans, plot plans, insurance certificates, and other project-dependent items. It also requires proper Board resolutions before a building permit can be issued.
