Special Event Permits

Any event (i.e. festival, concert, run/walk, art show, etc.) that uses, or will likely have a large impact on, public or City-owned property, such as streets or parks, requires a Special Event Permit Application. If you’re the person or organization hosting or sponsoring an event you’ll need to fill this out. This is information that we require in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly and safely. 

The following regulations shall also apply, see Ordinance Number 1882 (PDF) and Occupational License Ordinance (PDF).

• Special Event Permit Application (should be submitted to the Chief of Police's Office at least 45 days prior to the event)
• Special Event Permit Report (PDF) or Special Event Permit Report (XLSX)
  • To be submitted no later than 5 days before the date of the event.
• Special Event Permit Reconciliation Report (PDF) or Special Event Permit Reconciliation Report (XLSX)
  • To be submitted no later than 20 days after the date of the event or deposit will be forfeited in full.
