Special Event License

The City of Dodgeville recognizes that special events can bring many benefits to the community. At the same time, the City must have sufficient notice prior to a special event so that the City can evaluate the potential impact the event might have on resources of City departments, City owned properties and facilities, and on the public. Because events have unique characteristics with different potential impacts on City services, the issuance of a license is considered on a case-by-case basis.  Please review Sec 12.05 of the Municipal Code for full details and requirements of this license. 

An application form is required along with the appropriate fee per event.   Additionally, if an event will require extraordinary services, the City shall require that the applicant pay for the services if the costs to the City to provide the services exceeds $500.00.  The City will make a reasonable effort to notify the applicant prior to the event if extraordinary services totaling over $500 will be provided by the City.
