Full Breakdown
Under § 110-183, the city administration is authorized to issue block party permits for $25.00 each, covering neighborhood street events inside Springdale (Washington and Benton counties). The section sits at the end of the chapter's parade/demonstration article, so any block party that also closes a public street triggers the separate street-closure approval process in § 110-177, which requires a written application filed at least 72 hours in advance with the public works department, and may require a $500 deposit if city staff must set up or remove cones and barricades.
Violations & Fines
No specific penalty is listed in § 110-183 itself; unpermitted street closures fall under the article's general permit requirement, § 110-177, and the citywide penalty clause, § 1-9.
