PBOT is excited to share with you some updates about the Block Party Program:
-
All Block Party permit
are now FREE of charge! After the success of
the Pilot Program in 2017, we are announcing that all Block Party
permits are $0 citywide. If you are planning to hold a
block party on your street, please apply for your free permit!
-
The signature page is not required for standard Block Party permits, however, we ask that you notify those who would be affected by the street closure with a notification flyer. Feel free to use our notification flyer template or create your own flyer to outreach and invite your neighbors to join and participate in your block party.
-
Permits are open to all
Portland residents. Applicants can be
renters or homeowners.
-
The new Block Party application packet is posted! Please visit www.pbotblockparty.com to download it. The packet includes everything you'll need for your Block Party: 1.
Application; 2. Notification flyer; and 3. Block Party Street
Closure Traffic Control Plan. (It’s a new Block Party season, so please
do not re-use past application materials for new permit requests.)

We can accept your application in one of four ways: web/online application,
send e-mail attachments, fax, or in person*.
