Weber County, UT Special Events & Permits: Block Party Permits (2026)

Weber County Code § 38-1-6 sets the block party's distinctive application requirement: if the event is a block party or other event planned within a residential area, the applicant must collect and submit, with the application form, a list of signatures consenting to the street closure from every neighbor whose vehicular access to their property would be affected by the closure. That sits within the same general application package Title 38 requires of every special event, including a description of the event, sponsor and contact information, proposed dates and times, and a plat or map of the area to be used.

Unlike other special events, however, § 38-1-8 exempts block parties from the certificate-of-insurance requirement that otherwise mandates $1,000,000 per-person and $3,000,000 per-occurrence liability coverage, and § 38-1-7 separately exempts block parties from the nonrefundable application filing fee charged to other events, though block parties can still be billed directly by an agency such as the sheriff's office or fire district for services it provides. The permit itself still comes from the Weber County Planning Division under the general permit requirement in § 38-1-4, and § 38-1-8's 30-calendar-day advance filing window applies to block parties the same as any other special event, since Title 38 lists no separate exemption from that deadline.
