Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Helena is requiring all permit applicants to first vet event plans with the Lewis and Clark County Health Department to ensure compliance with current Phase II reopening guidelines from Governor Bullock.

• Please visit the L&C County Health Department website at: https://www.lccountymt.gov/health/covid-19/phase-two-guidance.html and complete the "Event Planning Form". Submit that form following directions provided there.  The Health Department will coordinate with you via email.
   
• Once you have email notice that your event plans comply with reopening restrictions, that email MUST be included with all City of Helena permit applications as an attachment. You will not be able to submit a permit application nor will one be approved without correspondence with the Health Department included.
   
• Public health order limits events to less than groups of 250 people until Dec. 31st 2020.  Click here for more information.
