- How do I submit the floodplain development permit?
- Complete the application and required sections, attach the site plan and other applicable documents, and submit them with required fees to the City of Carlton.

- Can I sign the affidavit with a commissioned online notary?

- The form says a permit is not required if the property or development site is outside the regulatory floodplain, or FEMA has formally determined it is outside. Speak to community staff if unsure.
