Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the Owner Exemption Affidavit?
- Identify the property, choose and initial the applicable owner or company-representative statement, initial paragraphs 2–5, then sign before a notary and submit the completed form to the Inspection Department.
- Do I need to sign the affidavit in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form includes a sworn-or-affirmed and subscribed-before-me jurat, so the affiant should sign in the notary’s presence.
- Can I use remote online notarization for this form?
- North Carolina has enacted a remote electronic notarization law for its own notaries, but that program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires both signer and notary to be in North Carolina and is not remote online notarization. Ask the town whether it accepts your notarized form.
- What happens after I submit the affidavit?
- The form says a copy will be transmitted to the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors to verify whether the signer is entitled to claim the exemption. Confirm with the city or town if unsure.
