APPLICATION DEADLINES and FEES
PERMIT PROCESS
The permit application process begins when you submit a
completed Special Event Permit Application to the Town
of
Mount Pleasant. Please determine the appropriate
application for your event type and attach all
requested documents via email. Acceptance of your
application should in no way be construed as final
approval or confirmation of your request. Applications
are only processed when payment is received.
During the application review process, you will be
allowed time to provide us with all pending documents
(e.g. certificate of insurance, secondary permits, etc.)
These items must be received before a Special Event
Permit will be issued. Delays in providing these items
will hinder our ability to finish our review process and
approve your application in a timely manner.
Staff in all appropriate TOMP departments will review
the permit application. Should there be any specific
questions or concerns about your event, TOMP staff
will contact you. During the review process you will
be notified if your event requires any additional
information, permits, licenses, certificates or fees.
Depending on the size and type of event, the Town may
require personnel including Police and/or Fire and/or
Public Services to work the event. All Town personnel
involved during the day(s) of the event will be charged
back to the organizing agency. The Town shall determine
the number necessary to ensure the safety of participants,
minimize the inconvenience to our residents and reduce
the public liability exposure to the organizing agency,
as well as the Town. The bill will be transmitted to the
organizing agency within sixty (60) working days after
the completion of the event.
COMPENSATION FOR TOWN STAFFING
If you are requesting to host your event on property owned
by the Town of Mount Pleasant, attach the Town Property
Event Addendum to this permit application. Be sure to
carefully read and understand all rules and restrictions
included in the addendum. Town of Mount Pleasant events
have priority in use of any Town property or right-of-way.
