Required documents include a Road Closure Application, Road Closure Consent Forms signed by neighboring residents, Road Closure Resident Form, proof of liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), and an Insurance Endorsement Form naming the County as additional insured. The road closure must maintain emergency vehicle access at all times. Applications should be submitted at least 30 days before the event. No amplified sound after 10 PM per the noise ordinance.
