Avoid Thousands of Dollars Worth of Fines with Proper Event Permits

Companies love to create events and partake in event festivities. However, getting caught up in the excitement can make people forget the most crucial aspect of hosting an event: securing an event permit. Case and point, in Georgia, Vermont, three girls were told by law enforcement to shut down their lemonade stand that had only been opened for one day due to the fact that they did not have a city permit. This story may seem a little crazy to some people, but in actuality, failure to secure an event permit can result in thousands of dollars worth of fines, which implies that the lemonade stand crew got off easy.

The officers of Georgia, Vermont are no stricter than any others across the country when it comes to event permitting. According to Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District in Camarillo, California, permits are required for church events, community events, run/walk events and more. Dallas, Texas won’t allow anything from parades to city walks without a special event permit. Long Beach, California requires event permits for large crowds and gatherings and so does South Miami. Without an event permit, people can expect the police to be breathing down their backs and not in a good way, such as the case of Schaumburg, Illinois, where a permitted event was granted extra police presence for crowd safety control.



After obtaining a special events permit, people must also find permits if alcohol is involved. Florence, Alabama has an annual music celebration in October and businesses need a special events permit to sell their alcohol outside. Summerville, Charleston’s mayor, Bill Collins, stated that all events that contained alcoholic beverages required a permit, too. Clearly, there is much to be aware of upon making the decision to host an event, no matter the city.

What happens if an event doesn’t have a permit? Each city has its own rules and regulations and most of the time the result can lead to thousands of dollars in fees, such as the case of Lane County, Oregon where a man’s neglect to obtain an events permit landed him in a $5,000 fine in 2010. A permit request can entail answering many questions related to the type of event one wants to hold. Bottom line, it’s good to be prepared.
