What this form is
The form collects property, project, owner, contractor, and estimated-cost details for a proposed construction project in Yorktown. The applicant agrees to follow applicable requirements, and the Building Department uses the application to review the project and calculate permit fees. If someone other than the owner signs the application, the form requires an owner authorization letter; the attached proxy statement provides a sworn authorization for an agent.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a Yorktown building permit, or agents applying on an owner's behalf with the required authorization, need this form.
Why it needs a notary
The attached proxy statement carries a “Sworn to before me” jurat; the property owner signs the authorization before a commissioned online notary.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the proxy statement online?
- Complete the owner and property details, then book a session with a commissioned online notary. The owner signs the proxy statement during the video session and submits the completed application to the Yorktown Building Department.
- Do I need to notarize the building permit application?
- The application signature line itself does not show a notary block. The attached proxy statement has a jurat, so the owner must sign that authorization before a notary when using an agent.
- Can I sign the proxy statement with a remote online notary?
- New York authorizes its own notaries to perform remote online notarizations under Executive Law §135-c, effective since 2023. A commissioned online notary can notarize the owner's sworn proxy statement by video.
