These pages are not intended to be an explanation of the specific rules that apply in your jurisdiction, or your particular situation, nor are these pages a substitute for seeking legal advice.

Under your local, city, state, provincial or national laws, you may need a license or permit to offer a session or sell goods or services to customers on public lands. Each park or public land has its own rules on what activities are allowed within the space. The types of activities permitted in public areas may depend on the land location, size, terrain, and resources. We encourage you to confirm with an appropriate park official that your session is allowed on the specific public land. If a permit is required, the type of permit you will need may vary based on what your session involves. In addition, certain sessions may trigger additional licensing requirements. Please keep in mind it is possible that multiple government or public entities have jurisdiction over a public space.
The processes and requirements for obtaining permits and licenses vary. The individual park managers and the heads of local, regional, and national entities controlling a public space have wide discretion regarding what is required to receive an individual permit. Applicable fees and taxes vary. It is likely you will be charged a fee to obtain your permit. The fee amounts also vary. Depending on what your session involves, you may also need to pay additional fees to use the public space. It is your responsibility to pay the fees and taxes applicable to your session.
Most sessions on public lands will require some type of insurance. However, the insurance requirements and who should be listed on the policy can vary by type of activity, permit type, and the governing entity. Even so, it is a good idea for you to confirm with the issuer of your permit to confirm any such requirements.
In many cases, special restrictions will apply if your session involves the consumption of alcohol or controlled substances on public lands. If you are planning on involving alcohol or a controlled substance in part of your session, we encourage you to confirm your session complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Please also consult the Alcohol page for your city and contact the regulator of the relevant public land for more information.
If you are unsure about anything relating to your session, we encourage you to check with your local public lands authority directly, or speak to a lawyer, to discuss your session and confirm your session complies with local laws including safety, tax, and insurance requirements.
