Block Party Permit Rules and Regulations
Please initial each section showing that you acknowledge and agree to the requirements.
______ A Block Party Permit is required for blocking or barricading any Town-owned
right-of-way, for the purpose of neighbors gathering. Private, individual parties do not
qualify for this permit. There is a cost of $25.00 for the permit.
______ Prior to submitting a request, you must make contact with residents affected by
the blocking and all parties must be in agreement and have no objection to the blocking.
We suggest you contact your HOA for their permission as well.
______ Requests submitted to the Town will be sent to the appropriate departments
within the Town as well as the Frederick-Firestone Fire Department for their approval.
Requests must be approved by all affected departments before a permit is issued.
______ Refunds will be given only if the Town receives a cancellation notification 14 days
in advance of the reservation. In the event of inclement weather, no refunds will be given,
but you may choose another date, that will have to be approved by all departments.
______ It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain and set up barricades at the streets
intended to be used for this event. These barricades must conform to the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards. Public Works can provide barricades for the
event that meet Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards. The applicant may
also rent barricades from a local rental company, if they so choose. The applicant is
responsible for setting up and taking down all barricades. All barricades must be readily
removable in order to provide immediate access to emergency vehicles. Emergency
access must be provided at all times.
______ All public rights-of-way and facilities must be cleaned of any and all debris and
garbage after the event; if the area is not returned to the original condition, the Town
may charge you for clean up fees. If the barricades are damaged upon return, you will be
responsible for the cost of replacing the barricade for the Town.
______ If you have any issues with barricades or the public-owned area, please call the
Public Works Department at 720-382-5800 (M-F, 7am-4pm), 303-598-8429 (on-call
phone number for calls outside office hours).
______ Public consumption of alcohol within the public right-of-way is not permitted
under the Frederick municipal code. Violators will be ticketed and required to appear in
the municipal court.
______ Event must conclude by dusk, unless written consent is given.
