Submit your request below. In the notes section, please mention that your document is a permit authorization form and include any special instructions from your building department, permit office, contractor, owner, county, city, attorney, or project contact.
A paper building-permit application under section 713.135 includes sworn statements for the owner or agent and the contractor. When the building department accepts an electronic application, that section allows an electronic statement under penalty of perjury in place of those notarized signatures. Do not book a notarization for a permit that the department will take with the electronic statement alone.
A paper permit application can have sworn signatures and still be different from an electronic application. When the building department accepts electronic filing, section 713.135 allows a penalty-of-perjury statement instead of those notarized signatures. An online checkbox on a PDF is not a promise that the portal will take a particular notarized file.
Broward's Uniform Building Permit Application, revised January 8, 2026 and effective March 9, 2026, has separate jurats for the owner or agent and for the contractor qualifier, and each jurat includes an online-notarization option. See the Broward Board of Rules and Appeals forms page. Miami-Dade roof-to-wall affidavit 123_01-340 and roof-decking affidavit 123_01-341, both dated March 2021, are sworn by the qualifying agent, include an online option, and are addressed to the building official. Palm Beach County's universal building permit application, dated January 2024, also has owner and contractor jurats with an online option. Confirm the city or county that actually issues the permit. Walton County's final installation affidavit, revised August 5, 2021, includes an online option and must be on file before the certificate of completion or occupancy. Escambia's roofing inspection affidavit, and Santa Rosa and Bay forms, are not described here until the current original-document rules are rechecked.

Permit authorization form · nationwide · iRemoteNotary
A permit authorization form is a construction or building department document often used when a property owner, contractor, permit expediter, or authorized representative needs permission to apply for, manage, revise, or process a permit. Depending on the local agency, project, and document instructions, the form may need to be signed, notarized, submitted, or kept with the permit file.
iRemoteNotary does not provide legal advice. Confirm the correct form and any notarization instructions with the building department, permit office, contractor, owner, county, city, attorney, or other receiving party.
Notarization and document requirements can vary by state, county, city, building department, permit office, project, contractor, owner, or receiving agency.
Permit authorization documents may involve an owner authorization, contractor authorization, agent authorization, or permit expediter authorization. The correct signer and wording can depend on the local building department, property ownership, contractor licensing, and permit requirements. Confirm the required form and signer before the notarization session.
iRemoteNotary provides remote online notarization only—we do not provide legal, permitting, licensing, or building department advice.

Acceptance of remote online notarization depends on the receiving party or agency—we do not guarantee building department, permit office, city, county, contractor, or owner acceptance.
Not every building permit needs a notary. Florida section 713.135 lets a department that accepts electronic applications use a perjury statement instead of the sworn owner and contractor signatures on the paper form. Notarize a permit authorization when the form in front of you contains a notarial certificate and the department is not using that electronic statement.
Broward's Uniform Building Permit Application, revised January 8, 2026 and effective March 9, 2026, has an online-notarization option on the owner or agent jurat and on the contractor qualifier jurat. That is not a rule that every Florida permit needs two notarizations. An electronic application the department accepts may use a penalty-of-perjury statement instead.
Miami-Dade roof-to-wall affidavit 123_01-340 and roof-decking affidavit 123_01-341, both dated March 2021, are sworn by the qualifying agent and include an online option. The property owner does not sign those two affidavits. Both are addressed to the building official. County permitting is separate from the City of Miami, and acceptance of a particular electronic file is not established.
Palm Beach County's universal building permit application, dated January 2024, has owner and contractor jurats with an online option. Use that path only when the form in front of you has the notarial certificate and the department is not taking an electronic penalty-of-perjury statement instead. The county owner-builder disclosure is a different form and requires an in-person appearance.
