Any event that attracts 50 people or more and lasts for 2 hours or more is considered a special event. Fulton County is host to the most special events in the state and this program has been enhanced to address the many health issues present at these events. These events must have adequate provisions for sewage disposal, solid waste and drinking water available. If food will be served other than prepackaged, then permits must be secured for each vendor. Staff provides the inspections and permits for these events. Certain events, however, are exempt from securing a permit and staff inspections.

These events must be:

• Sponsored by a political subdivision of this state or by an organization exempt from taxes,
• Last 120 hours or less and
• Be permitted by the county or a municipality within the county.
