Special Event Permits
Pursuant to Section 91 of the Town Code, a Special Event Permit is required for any sale, festival, or other special event that is conducted on Town property; that exceeds the building envelopes in the Business District; or that significantly impacts available public parking, vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or access to public roads.
Special Event Permit applications and supporting materials must be submitted to the Town Clerk at least sixty days before the event. Instructions for applicants are below. Please reach out to the Town Clerk (914-764-5549 or townclerk@townofpoundridge.com) if you have questions.
After reviewing the application, the Town Clerk presents it to the Town Board for approval, which may be subject to conditions that must be met before a permit can be issued. A permit must be issued before the start of the event.
Instructions for Applicants:
- Complete as much of the Special Event Permit Application form as you can. Note that there may be some details that will not be available when you submit your application. Use the online version of the form if possible.
- Submit your application and any supporting documents to the Town Clerk.
- Attend the Town Board meeting when your application will be considered.
- If the application is approved, you may still need to satisfy certain conditions for a permit to be issued or for your permit to be valid. Make sure you meet any conditions that are specified.
- Make sure you have received a permit prior to your event.
