Special Use Permit Program
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC or Community) recognizes and appreciates the
occasional staging of special events within the Community. In order to maintain safe conditions for the
Members, residents and visitors of the Community, organizers of special events are required to receive an
approved Special Use Permit (SUP) from the SRPMIC.
A Special Use Permit is Community government permission for the staging and carrying out of certain
temporary events or activities within the SRPMIC boundaries. Typically, these are activities that extend beyond
customary uses and may involve rights of way, culturally sensitive activities, require additional or special
Community resources and services or involve non-Community member attendance. SUP’s are intended to
maintain safe conditions for the Members, residents and visitors of the Community and organizers of special
events, as well as safeguard the Community’s Interests.
