Request a Temporary Event Permit (TEP)

Are you hosting an event on private property (a home, an event space, a business, etc.) for more than 100 people? If so, you must apply for a TEP. The City grants TEP's so that hosts of medium-sized events may avoid having to apply for a special event permit, and to ensure the neighborhood is protected from unnecessary disruptions.
