City of Dublin
Welcome to the City of Dublin’s Community Event Permit Application Portal. Using this system, you can submit and update information, track the status of your application and print a copy of your final permit.
We look forward to assisting you with your event. Please review the Event Guidebook before completing the application.
Once you have submitted your application, we will be in touch to discuss the next steps. Submitting an application does not guarantee that a permit will be issued.
Application Submittal Deadlines
Every individual or organization intending to hold a Community Event must submit an application at least sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled event, unless exempt by law. Events that are held on City property that intend to serve alcohol must submit their initial application ninety (90) days in advance. Waivers to required time periods may be granted by the Director of Community Events or designee for extenuating circumstances.
2025 Application Fees
The permit application fee is determined based on the size, complexity and need for City Services before, during and after each event. Please read the criteria below to help determine what tier your event qualifies.
Tier 1 - $200
Any event that does not require City Services nor warrants a meeting with the Permitted Events Committee but requires a permit to comply with City code or ordinances.
Tier 2 - $430
Any event that requires limited City Services and warrants a meeting with the Permitted Events Committee.
Tier 3 - $2,500 (Reoccurring/Annual Event)
Any reoccurring event that requires multiple City Services, multiple permits and warrants at least one, if not, reoccurring meetings with the Permitted Events Committee.
Tier 3 - $5,000 (New/Substantially Different Event)
Any NEW event or reoccurring event that has significant changes that require multiple City Services, multiple permits and warrants at least one, if not, more meetings with the Permitting Events Committee.
The tier is subject to change based on any changes you make to your event. The City of Dublin will determine your tier.
Other Costs and Fees
In addition to the permit application fee, you may be assessed other city permit fees, costs and fees associated with personnel or resources provided to your event by a city department, as well as fines that may be assessed by the city for the cost to repair and/or restore any public property damaged by an event. Event organizers will be billed after the conclusion of the event.
An event held in Coffman Park South Field or Riverside Crossing Park will have additional fees administered based on the tier and half-day/full-day allotment. Additional information on these fees and park use policies can be found by clicking here.
If an event is held in Bridge Park, additional fees may be administered through Crawford Hoying.
Insurance Provisions
The sponsoring organization, permit holder or host establishment may be required to obtain a comprehensive general liability insurance policy for bodily injury and property damage arising from your event. This will be at the discretion of the City of Dublin.
