Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the zoning compliance form?
- Fill in the requested property, operator, and facility details. If you are not the owner, have the owner sign the permission section before a notary, then submit the form for zoning review.
- Do I need the property owner's notarized signature?
- The form says that if you are not the property owner, the owner must give permission for the action by having their signature notarized.
- Can I use remote online notarization for the owner's signature?
- 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 in North Carolina; it is not remote online notarization. Confirm with the city or town if unsure.
- What happens after I submit the form?
- The form states that a final zoning inspection will be scheduled after the applicant meets all requirements for zoning compliance under a Zoning Use Permit issued for the location.
