Do I need a permit?
A Temporary Tent Permit and inspection are needed for tents over 200 sq ft and canopies over 400 sq ft.
What Roseville Fire asks for
- Site map showing structures, fire lanes on all sides, exits, extinguishers, and signs
- Documentation of tent stability
- Flame-resistance certificate
- Proof of insurance naming the City
Cooking under or near the tent
No open flame or heat-producing device in the tent. Cooking and heating equipment stays at least 10 ft from exits and combustibles. Spark- or grease-producing cooking stays at least 20 ft from the tent. No water-barrel ballast. Cooking near tents is subject to Fire review.
How the process works
- Apply by email to [email protected] at least 10 days ahead.
- Book the inspection 48 hours ahead at (916) 774-5800. The inspection must happen before the tent is used.

Long-term tents may need a building permit.
