Full Breakdown
Beaverton Code § 7.05.005 requires a current, valid City permit before anyone occupies public right-of-way or City-owned property, including City Park, the library premises, or the Round's plazas, for a special event. Applicants must submit event details, insurance proof, cleanup security, and a police-services agreement under BC 7.05.020, and the City may charge fees to recover its review and support costs under BC 7.05.030. This chapter covers only City-owned sites within Washington County's Beaverton city limits: most Beaverton-area neighborhood parks are run separately by the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD), not the City.
Violations & Fines
Incomplete applications risk denial; using City property or right-of-way for an event without a permit can bring removal or citation. Denials may be appealed to city council within five business days under BC 7.05.035.
