Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a notarized letter for this chicken permit?
- Only if you are not the property owner. Moab requires a letter from the owner, signed and notarized, agreeing to the use.
- How do I get the property-owner letter notarized online?
- Have the property owner prepare and sign the consent letter during a video session with a commissioned online notary. Utah law authorizes remote notarization by notaries holding the required remote notary certification.
- Does the application provide a notary acknowledgment or jurat?
- No. The application says the owner’s consent letter must be signed and notarized, but it does not include a printed jurat or acknowledgment block. Confirm the letter’s requirements with the city; confirm with the city or county recorder if unsure.
- What else must I submit with the application?
- Provide the requested applicant and property-owner information, the number of hens, a brief narrative, and a site plan showing the location of coops and other improvements.
