Online Block Party Permit Application

Block Party Permits are issued to residents of the City of Milwaukee to barricade the street they live on for events such as block watch meetings, neighborhood fellowship, welcoming new homeowners to the block, etc.  Planning a block party is a big job and requires the support of those who reside on the street that will be closed.  A Neighborhood Approval Petition must be submitted by all applicants each time a block party is applied for. 

Please note: Applications must be submitted online at least 2 weeks prior to the event date. This will allow enough time for your application to gain approval from the District Alderperson, Department of Public Works, and the Milwaukee Police Department. If you submit an untimely-filed permit, you are acknowledging that your application may not be processed. APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED AFTER THE DUE DATE WILL BE SUBJECT TO A $50 LATE FEE. 

Purpose of Event

Explain the reason for the street closure.
