Fee waivers for event permits

Based on certain criteria, community-based organizations and individuals declaring financial hardship may request their permit fees waived for some permits:

You will need to follow the instructions in the specific permit application to request the fee waiver.   

Who is eligible to apply? 

You can apply for a fee waiver if:

  • Your event received a grant from the City and County of San Francisco
  • You (the organizer) get some kind of public assistance, or
  • Paying the fee would not leave you enough money to live on

You can also apply for a fee waiver if ALL of the following applies to your event:

  • the event is free and open to the public
  • the event is run by a nonprofit organization, neighborhood association, or similar community-based group
  • the permit fee is more than 25% of the total budget for the event
