Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the workers’ compensation exemption affidavit notarized?
- If the applicant claims an exemption, complete the affidavit and sign it before a notary. Rush Notary lets you meet with a commissioned online notary by video.
- Do I need to notarize the entire building permit application?
- The form’s notary block is on the workers’ compensation exemption affidavit, not the main application. It applies when the applicant states they are not required to obtain coverage.
- Can I sign the affidavit online with a notary?
- Tennessee law authorizes remote online notarization by a commissioned online notary. The notary must be registered as an online notary through the Secretary of State; a traditional commission is issued through the county clerk.
- What should I submit with the application?
- The form calls for plans and specifications, including two copies, with construction details and utility locations. Return the completed application to Martin City Hall or by email; confirm with the city or town if unsure.
