Daytona Beach, FL Special Events & Permits: Park Event Permits (2026)

Under Sec. 82-101, no person may have exclusive use of a recreational facility or any portion of one without a facility use permit or, for larger commitments, a facility use agreement. Sec. 82-100 applies the article to all designated city parks plus Jackie Robinson Ballpark, Municipal Stadium, the Oceanfront Bandshell and any recreational facility carrying a fee in the fee schedule; it exempts leased or agreement-governed activities, outdoor events handled under Article II, Peabody Auditorium and use by the city or another government agency. Sec.

82-102 sets the filing window: a facility use permit application must be submitted no more than 365 days and no less than 30 days before the requested use date, while a facility use agreement needs 120 days' lead time; every application carries a non-refundable application fee from the fee schedule. The city has ten business days to rule a permit application complete (30 for agreements), and an applicant given notice of an incomplete filing has only five days (15 for agreements) to supply the missing material or the application is rejected outright and a new fee is required.

Sec. 82-103 gives the city 30 business days after completeness to approve, conditionally approve, or deny, and lists disqualifying grounds including unpaid debts to the city, prior unpaid property damage, and a permit or agreement revoked within the past four years for noncompliance or a false statement. Sec. 82-107 lets the city charge departmental service charges for police, fire and other city services, utility surcharges, and requires a service-charge deposit at least 14 days before the event and a variable-fee/damage deposit at least five days before, both due in cash or other city-approved security.
