Welcome to the Austin Center for Events
The Austin Center for Events (ACE) is a collaborative of City departments designed to streamline special event permitting on public and private property.
ACE is anchored by teams from Transportation & Public Works, Parks, Music, Police, Fire, EMS, ARR, Development Services and partner agencies, and works closely with event organizers to guide them through the permitting process.

What's New
The FY 23-24 City of Austin budget maintains existing ACE fees. As a reminder, the following special event permitting fees are in place.
- Application Processing Fee – due at the time of application submittal
- ACE Permitting Fee – due after reviews are complete and before the permit is issued
For more information of fees for your event please contact specialevents@austintexas.gov.
Updated Austin Public Health event guidelines are available on the Communicable / Infectious Disease Safety Recommendations webpage. If you have questions about your event application or future plans, contact specialevents@austintexas.gov.
