Logan, UT Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

Chapter 5.04 of the Logan Municipal Code covers parades through its definition of a special event: any short term event at a temporary location that is open to the public for a fee, plus any event available to the public that requires the full or partial closure of the public right of way or the use of city property whether or not a fee is required. The definition lists races, concerts, dances, exhibitions, lectures and parades. Section 5.04.020 then requires every person, before conducting any special event, to obtain a special event license and pay the regulatory fees in the schedule adopted by the Municipal Council.

Applications go in writing on city forms. Beyond the general business license information, a parade or street event applicant submits a description of every planned element, a site plan drawn to scale, proof of the property owner's permission, written permission to use toilet facilities within three hundred feet (300') of the location, and the state of Utah special event or temporary business sales tax numbers. If the event occurs in the public right of way, the applicant adds a detailed plan identifying the anticipated route, street names, start and finish points, start and finish times, traffic control plans, traffic fixture locations and anticipated street crossings. Events on Utah department of transportation managed rights of way need a copy of the UDOT permit. Events needing power must file an electrical plan.

Section 5.04.040 requires the applicant to agree in writing to indemnify the city and its officials, employees and agents, and the city can require insurance naming it as an additional insured. Under § 5.04.050, review runs through public works, planning, zoning, building, fire, police and health, and approval rests on code compliance in all applicable areas. After the reviewing agencies make a recommendation, the license administrator can issue the license, which specifies the operational limitations required. Section 5.02.130 adds that a regular business license is required in addition to a special license.
