What this form is
The homeowner marks and initials one of two options: door alarms or self-closing and self-latching devices, then prints their name and the property address and signs before a notary. The form authorizes the inspector to bypass entry into the residence to inspect those devices and records the homeowner’s responsibility for code compliance and related costs. Whitesboro requires the completed form in the permit packet at the job site during the pool final inspection.
Who needs it
A homeowner seeking to use this certification for a residential pool or spa permit’s final inspection must complete it and include it in the permit packet at the job site.
Why it needs a notary
