Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the affidavits in this application?
- Complete the applicable affidavit, but wait to sign until you meet with a commissioned online notary. The notary administers the oath and completes the jurat.
- Do I need to notarize the whole permit application?
- The form includes notary blocks on the workers’ compensation coverage affidavit and the affidavit as to status of licensure. The application itself has a separate applicant signature.
- Can I use online notarization for this Waynesville form?
- North Carolina’s enacted remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Its emergency video notarization requires both signer and notary to be in North Carolina and is not remote online notarization. Ask the city about accepting a commissioned online notary’s notarization; confirm with the city or town if unsure.
- What information should I complete before submitting the application?
- The form requests property, applicant, owner, and contractor information, along with the work type, occupancy, construction type, building area, and project cost. Complete the applicable affidavit sections as well.
