The owner swears under oath that the information provided is true and correct, and the form includes a full Texas jurat for a notary public to complete.
Who needs it
Property owners submitting a residential construction, subdivision, or development application to the City of Rice, especially when designating someone else to represent them.
Why it needs a notary
