Special Event Permit Application
All Special Event Permit applications must be completed and submitted online through the online application portal.
As part of the online application, applicants will be required to:
- Complete all required fields
- Upload copies of any additional permits or approvals
- Submit maps, site plans, and security plans electronically
- Certify compliance with all applicable City ordinances and requirements
The City will not issue a Special Event Permit until all required documents are uploaded and approved within the online system.
Applicants may save progress and return to the application as needed prior to final submission.
Special Event Permit Application Deadlines
Applications must be submitted through the online portal at least 45 days prior to the first day of the event. The submission timestamp within the system will be used to determine compliance with deadline requirements.
Applications submitted less than 45 days prior to the event may be subject to a late fee of up to $500.
The Public Works Department may grant preliminary approval of an event at any time in advance of the event. However, any person who receives preliminary approval must still comply with all application requirements.
Application Review Process
Once submitted, applications are routed electronically to the appropriate City departments for review, including Public Works, Community Development Services, the Office of the Mayor, Police, and Fire Departments.
Applicants may be contacted through the online system if additional information or revisions are required. Final approval notifications will also be issued electronically.
