Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized short-term rental application?
- Complete the application and gather its required supporting documents. Book a commissioned online notary, sign the affidavit during the video session, then submit the application and materials to the Village.
- Do I need to sign the application in front of a notary?
- Yes. The application includes an affidavit sworn to before a notary or the Agent of the Director of Public Safety. Do not sign that portion before the notarization.
