Misconceptions

Here are five common misconceptions about the Indiana Entertainment Permit form:

  • Only large events need a permit. Many believe that permits are only necessary for large gatherings. However, any event that meets the criteria for an amusement or entertainment venue requires a permit, regardless of size.
  • Submitting the application is all that’s needed. Some think that just filling out the form guarantees approval. In reality, additional documentation, like a floor plan or 501c letter, may be required to complete the application process.
  • Permits are only for specific types of venues. While certain venues, like theaters and nightclubs, are commonly associated with permits, other types, such as assembly halls and gyms, also need them. Any facility hosting entertainment activities must comply.
  • Fees are fixed and do not vary. There is a misconception that permit fees are the same for all events. In fact, fees depend on the expected occupancy load, meaning they can vary significantly based on the number of attendees.
  • Once a permit is issued, it never expires. Some assume that a permit is a one-time requirement. In truth, permits often need to be renewed annually or for each event, depending on the type of request.
