What this form is
When a contractor, architect, or property manager, rather than the owner, submits an application to the Jonestown Development Services Department, the owner must complete this authorization. The owner's signature is taken before a notary public, giving the city confidence that the named agent truly has permission to act on the property.
Who needs it
Jonestown property owners who want a contractor, agent, or representative to submit permit, zoning, or plat applications for them.
Why it needs a notary
The signature block includes a 'before me' notary acknowledgment with a commission-expiration line, so the owner's signature must be notarized.
