Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized signatures on the annexation petition?
- Choose the certificate that matches the signer—individual owner, entity representative, or attorney-in-fact. Each owner signature needs its own completed notary statement. Do not sign before the notarization appointment.
- Do I need to submit supporting documents with the petition?
- Yes. The checklist calls for a metes and bounds description, a map, a marked current county tax map, ownership documentation, and other listed materials. Check the application checklist before submitting.
- Can I use an online notary for this Concord form?
- North Carolina’s enacted remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires both the signer and notary to be inside North Carolina; ask the city whether it will accept notarization by a commissioned online notary.
- Where do I submit the completed annexation application?
- The form directs petitioners to submit the application package to Concord Planning & Neighborhood Development. For submission details or deadlines, confirm with the city or town if unsure.
