Cedar Hill residents hosting a block party with street closure must apply for a temporary street closure permit through the city; allow 2-4 weeks lead time.
To close a residential street for a block party in Cedar Hill, the resident or HOA must apply for a temporary street closure or special event permit. Applications typically require: signed consent from a substantial majority of affected residents (often 75%+), proof of liability insurance for larger events, a proposed traffic control plan with cones/barricades, and emergency vehicle access maintained at all times. Submit applications 2-4 weeks in advance to allow review by Public Works, Police, and Fire departments. Smaller gatherings on private driveways and front yards without street closure don't require a permit. Alcohol on public streets generally requires additional permits. No closures of arterial or collector streets without significant additional review.
