Special events on city property, park facilities, or in public rights-of-way require a permit through the EventApp portal. Application fees are $150 if city services are needed (police, fire, transportation) or $50 if not. $1,000,000 in liability insurance with the city as additional insured is required for events on city property.
The Special Events Division (770-594-6192, Special Events Manager Christine Ward) administers event permitting through the EventApp portal. Application fees are non-refundable and must be paid before the application is considered submitted. Required submittals: detailed event plan, site map, security plan if estimated attendance exceeds thresholds, certificate of insurance ($1M general liability minimum, city named as additional insured), and traffic management plan if public streets are affected. Applications must be reviewed by public safety departments and any other affected city departments. Whole-park reservations are generally not available for private events. Standard event hours run 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. unless extended hours are approved.
Holding an event without a permit, exceeding approved attendance, or failing to meet insurance requirements can result in immediate shutdown by Roswell Police. Continuing violations can be cited in Municipal Court with fines up to $1,000 per day.
