How to apply for a Block Party Permit

Applications must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the event date.  A fee of $250 is also required for review ($80 non-refundable fee at time of submission, $170 at permit issuance – both payable online only via credit card). Commercial events might require additional fees based on the need for “Maintenance of Traffic” plans.

Applications are to be submitted through the permits site as an “Application for Permit.”  Instructions on how to enter a new submission can be found in the “Create New Application.pdf.”  Applicants would need to upload the Block-Party Application and Permit Application into the system.
