Are there any fees to submit a special events permit?

Yes, there is a $50 non-refundable fee that is required at time of application.
How long is the review process?

Event applications are reviewed by the City’s Special Events Review Committee.

The Committee includes representatives from the Mayor’s office, Police and Fire, Administrative Services, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Customer Service departments.

The Committee looks at the impact of the proposed event, the logistics of the event, the requested and required city services for the event (if any), and whether all other licenses, insurance permits and agreements are in place before making a decision.

This process takes at least 14 working days, but applications are required no less than 90-days in advance.
