What this form is
The application asks for project, property, owner, contractor, and plan details, then uses yes-or-no questions to identify which building, zoning, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and other reviews may be required. Submit it with the applicable fee and requested documents; a contractor seeking an exemption from workers’ compensation insurance must also complete and notarize the relevant section. Do not begin work until the permit is approved and received.
Who needs it
A property owner or the owner’s agent should submit this application when requesting permits for construction, changes of use, or other work covered by its review questions.
Why it needs a notary

- Do I need to notarize the application if I am the homeowner?
