What this form is
Property owners use this form to ask the Town of Burgaw to annex land contiguous to town limits, providing a legally accepted property description approved by a consulting engineer. The Town requires the signed petition and listed supporting materials for acceptance and scheduling, including deeds, maps, parcel lists, a development program, and a Public Works capacity letter. The form states that entity-owned property requires corporate officer signatures, an attestation, a corporate seal, and notarized execution.
Who needs it
Owners of each parcel proposed for contiguous annexation must submit the petition, with all deed owners signing and additional sheets attached if needed.
Why it needs a notary

Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the contiguous annexation petition?
- Complete the petition and development program, gather the deeds, approved property description, maps, parcel lists, fee, and Public Works letter, then submit the original signed petition and required items to the Town Clerk.
- Do I need notarization for this petition?
- The form says notarized execution is required when property is owned by a corporation or other entity. It also specifies a responsible corporate officer, a second officer’s attestation, and the corporate seal.
- Can a commissioned online notary notarize the petition?
