What this form is
Prospective beekeepers use this application to provide property and hive details, certify they know the city’s beekeeping rules, and document neighbor permission. The city’s form asks for a survey showing hive locations, neighbor permission unless the parcel is zoned recreational, and a $70 permit fee. After installing hives, the applicant must notify Inspection Services in writing within seven days; the form says the application process must start again if hives are not installed within one year of permit issuance.
Who needs it
Brookfield property owners seeking a beekeeping permit use this application and, when required, obtain permission from abutting single-family homeowners.
Why it needs a notary
The applicant signs the sworn-to jurat on page one before the notary; abutting owners sign permission lines on page two, which have no notary block.
