What this form is
When the person applying for a Specific Use Permit or rezoning in Plainview is not the property owner, the Planning and Zoning Commission requires this affidavit from the owner consenting to the application. The owner swears the statement under oath before a notary, confirming ownership and authorizing the named applicant to act as their agent for the request.
Who needs it
Property owners who are not personally filing a Specific Use Permit or rezoning application but are authorizing an agent, tenant, or developer to file on their behalf.
Why it needs a notary
The form is a formal affidavit with the statement 'Subscribed and sworn to before me... NOTARY PUBLIC IN AND FOR ___ COUNTY, TEXAS,' so it must be signed under oath before a notary to be valid.
