Event & Commercial Special Use Permits

 

                

A special use permit is required for any commercial activity, defined as any use or activity on National Forest System Lands where:

• the primary purpose is the sale of a good or service
• an entry or participation fee is charged

This is applicable whether or not the use or activity is intended to produce a profit.  Applications for special use permits are accepted at local ranger district offices and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  Submitting an application does not guarantee its authorization.  Basic requirements for holding a permit include technical and financial capability, payment of a fee, and insurance listing the US Government as additionally insured.  Click on the specific activities below to learn more.
