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.
EVENTS ON TOWN-OWNED PROPERTY
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
