All projects are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Generally a $200 per day special event permit is required. Three to four weeks are preferred for permit processing. Refundable damage / clean up deposits are required.
Proof of insurance is required: $600,000 bodily injury and property damage combined, listing El Paso County as co-insured. The use of vehicles off-road may require additional damage deposits and permit fee, but is generally not permitted.
