Frequently asked questions

- Yes. The affidavit says the permit description and estimate must include all work, including improvements, repairs, additions, and other changes.
- Can I notarize this form online in North Carolina?
- North Carolina’s remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires both the signer and notary to be in North Carolina and is not remote online notarization. Confirm acceptance with the town before booking a commissioned online notary.
