What this form is
Use this eight-page application to request a general-use or conditional rezoning and provide property details, applicant information, and an analysis of the request. Spencer requires a pre-filing meeting with the Planning & Zoning Administrator, a complete application, and applicable fees; the form also outlines neighborhood meeting and notice requirements. If the applicant is not the property owner, an owner’s notarized affidavit is required, and conditional zoning requires the owner’s signature on each conditions page.
Who needs it
Property owners or applicants seeking a Spencer zoning-map amendment use this form; applicants acting for an owner must include the required owner’s notarized affidavit.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit a rezoning application in Spencer?
- Meet with the Planning & Zoning Administrator before filing, complete the application and required materials, pay applicable fees, and submit it by the stated deadline. The form says incomplete applications are not accepted.
- Do I need a notarized owner’s affidavit?
- The form requires one if the applicant is not the property owner, with specified owner, property, authorization, and signature details. It also lists an executed power of attorney for an attorney applicant.
- Can I notarize the affidavit online?
- North Carolina’s remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization is different and requires both signer and notary to be inside North Carolina; confirm acceptable notarization with the Town.

- Review the application checklist and contact the Town’s Planning & Zoning Administrator about filing requirements; confirm with the city or town if unsure.
