    EVENT PERMIT

    Any event in a road way or that may block traffic (parades, races, block parties, etc.) requires an event permit.


    *Note: Some events will require, at minimum, one Homewood off-duty police officer for the duration of the event.  It may require more and will be determined after your permit is reviewed. The cost per officer is $200 for the first three hours, with an additional charge of $40 for each subsequent hour. Additionally, it is mandatory that only HPD officers staff events requiring law enforcement presence as a condition for event permit approval.
