Temporary Events

A temporary event permit is required when food or beverage is to be sampled, sold, or given at a community event. A “Community Event” is defined as an event that is of a civic, political, public or educational nature, including state and county fairs, city festivals, circuses, and other public gathering events approved by the local enforcement agency.

Applications may be filled out electronically! Download the DOC application version below. Fill it out on your computer, then print your completed application and submit to your event coordinator along with your permit fee.

Coordinator and Vendor numbers

  • Coordinator Application: Coordinator Number
  • Temporary Food Facility (Vendor) Application: Vendor Number
  • After your first application submittal, we will be issuing you a Coordinator/Vendor number that will remain with you event after event, year after year. This number will be used to help us expedite application processing.
  • Your Coordinator/Vendor number will be printed on your Temporary Event Permit.
