If you are hosting a large event in a home (100 people or more), or an event of any size in other private property that is not designated for events, you must apply for a TEP. View Municode for specific permit rules. See below for exceptions. 

This is a specific type of permit for an event held on private property. You may only request and receive a TEP twice a year for up to 14 consecutive days on a single property. If the event is taking place on City-owned property, the property is limited to ten events per year, for fourteen consecutive days each.

NOTE: In order for our office to review your application, we need the following required documents. Please be advised that if you do not provide these documents, the process can not commence. 

You will also be asked the following:

NOTE: Site plans  must show the dimensions of the lot and specify the entrances and exits including the dimension (measurements) of the gate. If using tents, you must show there placement, location of portable toilets, trash receptacles, location of all tables and chairs should be specified and the names of all surrounding streets.

NOTE: Floor plans  must show the square footage of the location being used, the entrances and exits including dimension (size) & emergency exits, location of fire extinguishers, location of stairs (if any), locations of bathrooms, location of all tables and chairs should be specified and the names of surrounding streets. 

The fee for this permit is $253.50 if submitted 30 days or more prior to the event.  If submitted within less than 30 days of the event, the fee is $507.00 (double fee).  Please be advised that this is not an expediting fee, this is a late submittal penalty fee.

NOTE: If you're looking for the special permit for COVID testing/vaccine pop-ups, you can complete the application on this page. 

You will be sent an invoice which you can pay online.  NOTE: Your application will not be fully processed until you have paid your invoice. 

Once you've been approved, you will be provided with a permit. 

If your event is for more than 300 people, you need a Special Event permit, not a TEP.
