Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the property owner signature notarized?
- Complete the application, then have each property owner sign the owner section before a commissioned online notary. Check with the Town about accepting an online-notarized jurat before booking.
- Do I need to notarize the applicant signature too?
- The form places a jurat after the property owner signature section. The applicant certification has a separate signature line without a notary block.
- Can I use online notarization for this application?
- North Carolina’s remote electronic notarization 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 an online-notarized form.
- What materials go with the application?
- The form lists an application fee, a property deed, written proposal statements and a phasing plan, a use description, and site plan copies. Review its full checklist and confirm with the city or town if unsure.
