Authorization Permit for events

The Authorization Permit is required for a public, temporary event with more than 250 people, with or without ticket sales, on public or private property, a lot, a parking lot, a street, a square or a park. The rule also applies to events held by the government. An assembly venue that already has an Operating Permit is exempt if the event does not change the licensed space.

It does not need City Hall's Authorization Permit. But an event in a street, square or other public area depends on authorization from the local Subprefeitura, which has its own rules. In Pinheiros, for example, the request is filed at least 30 days in advance.

At least 30 days before the event date. City Hall has up to 30 days to issue the permit, counted from when the documentation is complete. If a requirements notice comes, there are only 5 days to respond; without a response, the application is denied.

Among others: the event's descriptive report, plans, an occupancy and evacuation calculation signed by a qualified professional, a contract with a security company, official letters to the Military Police and the Subprefeitura, and approvals from CET and the Health Department. The list grows according to the event's risk level, calculated on an official points scale.

Yes. The stability of the stage, tent, roof structure and bleachers, electrical installations, grounding, lightning protection (SPDA), fire protection system, fire brigade, accessibility and noise are proven by attestations with ART or RRT. For a low-risk event, a statement of commitment is accepted, also with ART or RRT.
