Special Outdoor Events Permit Application
Duvall Fire (King County Fire District 45) has been delegated by the City of Duvall the responsibility for
enforcing the International Fire Code. In so doing, our intent is to protect the safety of those who
participate in outdoor special events. Not every event requires a permit and a site inspection. We will
review your application to determine if a permit is required. If required, we will advise you and there will
be a permit fee of $100 (beginning in 2010) to cover our cost of plan review and inspection. Event
elements that typically trigger a permit requirement are multiple tents or portable structures, food
vendors, use of power, and large crowds. Please refer to the attached document giving an overview of
requirements. It is the responsibility of the permit applicant to make sure that all participants are aware
of and follow the Fire Code requirements. In most cases, we will do a site inspection during the event. If
you have questions, please contact us at 425-788-1625. Thank you for your cooperation.
