Eagle Mountain, UT Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

Chapter 12.30 EMMC governs outdoor public assemblies, and it reaches parades, festivals, concerts and similar events anticipated to draw 30 or more people on public or private property. Under EMMC 12.30.030(C), no business enterprise may organize, promote, advertise or sell tickets to such a gathering without a license issued by the city, and EMMC 12.30.030(D) requires a separate license for each location where 30 or more people assemble. The nonrefundable administrative fee is $10 per day of the event under EMMC 12.30.030(D)(1), and the Utah County sheriff's office bills a separate public-safety fee for traffic control or police protection when required, plus any Utah County health department charges for special services.

EMMC 12.30.040(L) layers on a refundable cleanup deposit that scales with expected attendance, from $300 for 30 to 75 people up to $10,000 for gatherings over 2,000. Events with paid admission must carry broad-form liability insurance starting at $1,000,000 for 100 to 5,000 attendees and rising to $5,000,000 above 10,001, plus employer's liability and workers' compensation coverage, under EMMC 12.30.040(M). Applications for assemblies over 100 people are due at least 30 days ahead; smaller ones need 15 days' notice under EMMC 12.30.050, and the application must disclose the site plan, sanitation and toilet facilities, security and traffic-control plans, and a signed statement from the zoning enforcement officer and the Utah County health department.

EMMC 12.30.040 also sets an operating curfew: assemblies must end by midnight after a Friday or Saturday event and by 10:00 p.m. on other nights, with patrons off the premises within an hour of closing. The city may revoke or restrict a license for noncompliance under EMMC 12.30.120, with a right to a hearing before an administrative law judge and further appeal to the city council.
