What this form is
A property owner who cannot personally handle a permit application with the City of Corpus Christi can grant a named attorney-in-fact limited authority to apply for, sign, and receive that specific permit. The grantor's signature is acknowledged before a notary, and the notarized power of attorney is filed with the Building Inspection Division before the attorney-in-fact can act.
Who needs it
Corpus Christi property owners who want to designate someone else to apply for, sign, and receive a building permit on their behalf.
Why it needs a notary
