A permit is required whenever a tent or air supported structure more than 900 square feet in area is erected as part of a special event. There is no fee for the permit.

The application must be accompanied by several documents:

  • The use of the tent (ie. furniture sale, picnic, etc.).
  • The time and date that the tent will be up and ready for inspection.
  • A site plan showing seat capacity and layout, including:
    • Location of the tent and all buildings on the site.
    • Location of all exits and mechanical and electrical equipment.
  • The flame spread affidavit of the tent material
  • A copy of the approved special event permit.

Within 24 hours of receiving the application, a fire inspector will call and confirm the date and time of the tent inspection.

Events with food or alcohol require additional permits from the city.
