What this form is
Use this form to petition the Town of North Wilkesboro to change the zoning designation of a property. The applicant identifies the parcel, owner, current use, and requested change, and provides documentation showing an interest in the property. If someone other than an owner submits the petition, the application must include an authorization letter signed and notarized by all owners with an interest. The applicant or a representative must attend the public hearing.
Who needs it
Property owners seeking a zoning map amendment, or agents submitting a petition on an owner's behalf, must provide this form and the required supporting materials.
Why it needs a notary
The petition has no notarial certificate; when an agent submits it, all owners with an interest must sign the separate authorization letter before a notary.

Frequently asked questions

- Do I need to attend the public hearing?
- The form says the applicant or a representative must attend the public hearing; the Town Board will not take action on the petition unless someone attends.
- Can I use an online notary for the owner authorization?
