Event Permit

webmaster — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:34:23 +0000

An event permit (below) may be required if your event will block or obstruct public property, such as a street, sidewalk, or other public areas. The permit application provides information to the City about your event and allows representatives from the Police Department, Fire Department, Street Department, Parks Department, and other departments to ensure that the event does not harm or negatively impact the general public. The Event Committee looks at issues such as traffic flow, sanitation, and security, and works with you to ensure that your event is safe and beneficial for everyone.

An event permit is typically not required for picketing on a public sidewalk or in a public park. However, please notify the Police Department not less than twenty four (24) hours prior to a picket or demonstration. This is to ensure that pedestrian and vehicle traffic are able to flow freely in the vicinity and the event does not create a hazard to pubic safety.

For film production inquiries, see the Film Production and Locations page.

Events which do not require an event permit may still need other inspections, such as a fire safety inspection. You may contact the Inspections Desk at (512) 930-2550 to determine if an event permit or any other inspections might be required.
