Fee Structure

Daily Fee Structure

The Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO) determines the event size based on square footage, expected attendance, and the overall impact on daily plaza operations. The approximate permittable square footage is 4,500 SF on the North Plaza & 3,875 SF on the South Plaza. SAPO fees are paid directly to the City. We collect the BID fees which are used to manage, maintain, beautify & program the Flatiron Public Plazas.
