What this form is
Statesville’s Planning Department checklist asks applicants to submit the completed annexation petition with a metes-and-bounds description, maps, current deed documents, owner signatures, and other applicable materials. The petition asks about the property’s relationship to city limits and whether all owners have signed. The checklist also calls for a completed notarized section and a $400 application fee; the form says annexation takes at least two months after all required information is received.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the annexation petition?
- Complete the petition and checklist, gather the requested property description, maps, deeds, owner signatures, and other applicable items, then submit them to the Planning Department with the application fee.
- Do I need to sign the petition before a notary?
- Yes. The checklist requires the notarized section, and the petition says it must be notarized. The individual landowner or company representative signs through the acknowledgment block provided.
- Can I use remote online notarization for this form?
- North Carolina has enacted a remote electronic notarization law, but its program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires the signer and notary to be inside North Carolina and is not remote online notarization. Confirm acceptance with the city before booking a commissioned online notary.
- What supporting items does the checklist request?
- The checklist names a metes-and-bounds description, maps, current deed documents, all property owners’ signatures, any existing plans, parcel numbers, adjacent-owner information, applicable planning applications, and the fee.
- Who should I contact if I am unsure about submission requirements?
- Contact the Statesville Planning Department about the petition and its supporting materials; confirm with the city if unsure.
