Special Event Permit
Welcome to the City of Columbia Special Event
Permit Portal
Thank you for choosing to host your event in Columbia!
This portal will guide you through the Special Event Permit application
process.
Applications are reviewed by the City's Special Event
Committee (SEC), a team of representatives from multiple City departments who
work together to help ensure events are safe, well-coordinated, and comply with
City ordinances. Depending on your event's size and complexity, you may be
asked to attend an SEC meeting to discuss your plans.
If your event requires City Council approval through an
Operations Agreement, your application, supporting documents, and payment must
be submitted by the applicable deadlines in order to be considered.
Our goal is to work with you to help make your event a success. If you have
questions or need assistance, please contact us at 573-817-5052
or SpecialEvents@como.gov.
We're happy to help!
To submit a Special Event application, you will need to have an account with us. If you don't have an account, create one now. There is a 2-step verification via email process for security & privacy purposes so be sure to check your email.
