Frequently asked questions
- Which part of the application needs notarization?
- The page 7 owner authorization includes an acknowledgment for the property owner or owners. The applicant certification on page 6 is a separate signature statement.
- How do I submit the completed application?
- Complete the application and submit it with the fee and any required plot plan to Greenville’s Community Development Department at least 20 working days before a Board meeting.
- Do I need a notary if I am the property owner and applicant?
- The form says the page 7 owner authorization may be disregarded if the applicant owns the property or has a binding option to purchase it. Review the instructions and confirm with the city or town if unsure.
- Can I notarize this form online?
- North Carolina has enacted a remote electronic notarization law for its own notaries, but that program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires both signer and notary to be in North Carolina. Ask the city whether it accepts a notarization by a commissioned online notary.
