SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS

 Any event such as a fundraiser, race, festival or block party will need a Special Events Permit. This includes the use of any type of outdoor speaker, public address system or live music. Since every event is unique please call the Community Development Department in advance to determine the requirements for your event. Some events may require a number of permits from various City departments depending on the size and nature of the event.  

WHAT IS THE SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT PROCESS?

  1. Applications must be submitted to the Community Development Department at least two weeks before the scheduled event date, if you are serving alcohol at the event please submit your special event permit 30 days in advance, events serving alcohol must go through a more in-depth review.

  2. Once a completed application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the fire department, police department and the Community Development Department. Applicants will be contacted as soon as the permit has been reviewed by all departments.
