How long does it take to obtain a Special Events Permit?
The process usually takes two to three months or more depending on the complexity of the event, community notification and the number of City departments that require a review. Special events should not be advertised until all appropriate permits are approved. Event planners should give themselves as much time as possible by submitting their applications as soon as event plans are known. The Special Events Committee tries to expedite the permit application process for proposed time-sensitive constitutionally protected events. Annual events utilizing parks should submit their Park Use Application on the first business day of the year, January 4th for 2009. Parks are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
