What this form is
The Owner’s Endorsement identifies the property owner or other authorized party and records the owner’s permission for someone else to submit an application to Southampton Town. It is used when the applicant is not the owner; owners applying on their own behalf do not need to submit it. For jointly or partnership-owned property, each owner or partner must sign a separate endorsement, and certain representatives must provide supporting proof of authority.
Who needs it
A non-owner applying to Southampton Town’s Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, Conservation Board, or Land Management Department needs the property owner’s completed endorsement.
Why it needs a notary
The form has no printed jurat or acknowledgment block; the owner or authorized representative signs the endorsement before a commissioned online notary, as required by Land Management.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the Owner’s Endorsement?
- The owner completes the form, identifies their ownership or authority, names the person authorized to apply, and signs before a notary. Submit any required proof of authority with the endorsement.

- What supporting documents might be needed?
- The form asks certain corporate, trust, or LLC representatives to provide proof of authority, such as a corporate resolution or power of attorney. Confirm with the city, town or village if unsure.
