Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the owner authorization notarized?
- Complete the owner authorization section, then have the property owner sign and swear to it before a notary. The form includes a notary acknowledgment area for the date and commission expiration.
- Do I need notarization for every part of this application?
- The form’s notary block appears on the owner authorization for a non-owner application. The application’s other pages do not show a notary block in the supplied form text.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- North Carolina’s enacted remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization is different and requires both the signer and notary to be in North Carolina. Confirm with the city or town if unsure about acceptable notarization.
