Tents and Temporary Structures on Private Property Only

For tents and temporary structures on private property a City of Charlotte Zoning Use permit is also required prior to event set-up.

For temporary tents, the tent structure must be located outside of any required setbacks, public right of ways and cannot occupy any required parking of any existing permitted uses.

The event organizer (or in some cases the tent vendor) will need to bring a detailed site map to the Zoning Counter located at the Hal Marshal Center at 700 North Tryon Street. Upon approval of site plan review a Zoning Use permit will be issued. All Zoning Use permits must be received within two weeks prior to event.
