Carson City Health and Human Services Environmental Health Division is excited for your events in both Carson City County and Douglas County!

You can apply to serve items at an event by using our Temporary Event Permit Application which is required for all vendors/operators/coordinators that plan on serving any food/beverage/edible items at an event.

Annual permit holders can utilize our Multiple Temporary Event Permit Application instead.

If you are a cottage food vendor, invasive body decoration, or other, please see the other options for applications below. Do NOT submit this application. 

Please be as detailed as possible on the application. A separate menu page is required to be attached to the application. You can send your application by filling it in on your computer, saving the file and attaching it in an email, or take a clear photo of the application and menu, or scan in a hand written document. Send any of these options to our Environmental Health email at: eh@carson.org.

Starting March 1st, 2023 the above applications will be the acceptable version for temporary events.

As per NAC 446, A temporary health permit application is requested of anyone proposing to offer food/beverages for human consumption to the public including a permitted establishment who also has an annual health permit. Please take the time to complete all parts of the form including the third; listing all food/beverages proposed to be served, if there are items that are not applicable to your operation, indicate N/A.

There is a check box to skip the menu and 2nd page step, ONLY check this box if you are ANNUALLY PERMITTED in CARSON CITY COUNTY or DOUGLAS COUNTY and your menu has NOT changed. 

**PLEASE NOTE** - This application is not your permit to operate, your permit will be hand delivered the day of the event upon completion of your temporary event inspection. **
