Special events can be important ways to build community and celebrate the City’s diversity, heritage and uniqueness. Depending on the nature of your event, you may need to obtain permits or City approvals. The City of Sunnyvale has created a simplified process to help you determine what types of permits and approvals you will need. Simply fill out community event application and submit it to the Office of the City Manager, Community Resources Division at least 60 days before your event.

*************

Please note: Effective July 1, 2008, new fees and procedures:

1)  All event applications must be submitted at least 60 days before your event.
2)  There is a $100 application fee. 

*************

Once we receive your application, one or more City representatives will contact you to let you know of any permits, approvals or fees that apply. After you have obtained these, we will send you a conditional event approval letter. We appreciate your time and interest in planning a successful and safe event.
