What this form is
The petition asks Burgaw’s Mayor and Board of Commissioners to annex the property described in the filing. The Town’s checklist says a complete submission is required for acceptance and scheduling; it includes signed petition pages, deeds, an engineer-approved property description, maps, parcel lists, a fee, a development program, and a Public Works capacity letter. The form says entity-owned property requires notarized execution, a second officer’s attestation, and the corporate seal.
Who needs it
Property owners seeking voluntary annexation into Burgaw must submit the petition, and owners of entity-held property must meet the additional execution requirements stated on the form.
Why it needs a notary
The form requires notarization when a corporation or other entity owns the property; the supplied text does not show a specific jurat or acknowledgment block, and the responsible officer signs.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I prepare this petition for submission?
- Complete the petition and development program, gather the checklist documents, and arrange notarization if an entity owns the property. Submit the original signed petition and required materials to the Town Clerk.
- Do I need notarization for this petition?
- The form says notarization is required when the property is owned by a corporation or another entity, along with a second corporate officer’s attestation and the corporate seal. It does not state that individual owners need notarization.
- Can I use an online notary for this Burgaw form?
- North Carolina’s remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization is distinct and requires the signer and notary to be inside North Carolina. Ask Burgaw whether it accepts the notarized format before booking with a commissioned online notary.

- The checklist includes property deeds, an engineer-approved meets-and-bounds description, maps and GIS data, parcel lists, the petition fee, a completed development program, and a Public Works letter about service capacity.
- Who should I ask if I am unsure about filing requirements?
- The form says incomplete submissions may be rejected by the Town Clerk. Confirm with the city or town if unsure.
