How it works.

1
Choose the permit
From the government's own words, side by side, on your dashboard.
2
Answer a few questions
When, where, who is applying, and what the form asks, in its words.
3
Sign what we prepare
We fill in the forms from your answers. The state takes these forms signed in ink, so you print, sign and upload them.
4
We file and follow it
With the city and the state, and you see each step on your dashboard.

File early

30 days

before the event, at least; 40 on City of Boulder property

A festival permit is filed at least 30 days before the festival; Denver asks for a temporary modification 30 days ahead; Boulder takes a special event application at least 30 days ahead on private property and 40 on city property.

The government fees are separate, at the published amounts, shown before you send the request. We collect them and pay the agencies for you.
