Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the Owner Exemption Affidavit?
- Complete the form, then sign it before a commissioned online notary. The notary completes the sworn-or-affirmed and subscribed-before-me section; submit the completed affidavit with your building permit application.
- Do I need to sign the affidavit in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form has a sworn-or-affirmed and subscribed-before-me section with spaces for the notary’s signature, printed name, seal, and commission expiration.
- Can I use remote online notarization for this Monroe form?

- The form says the affiant must occupy the building for twelve months after completion and may not offer it for rent, lease, or sale during that period.
