Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the owner certification notarized online?
- Complete the application, then book a commissioned online notary. The property owner must sign and swear to the certification during the video session. Confirm with the city if unsure whether it accepts remote notarization.
- Do I need to sign the application in front of a notary?
- The owner certification includes a state jurat and sworn statement, so the property owner named in that certification signs and swears before a notary.
- What should I submit with this package?
- The instructions call for application materials, plans or plats, the corresponding checklist, pre-application meeting notes, and a tax statement or certificate. The city also requires applicable fees.
- When will the city accept my application?
- The instructions say a pre-application meeting must be completed and its notes included before an application is accepted. Submittals are due by 11:00 a.m. on the calendar date.
- Can I choose a pre-submittal?
- Yes. The form distinguishes pre-submittal, with required documents present but fees excluded, from submittal, with required documents and fees included. It explains that pre-submittal is not filed until written notice and payment.
