Tempe cuts permit fees to encourage live music
Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Tempe has reduced the permit fees for business owners who bring live music to their venues.
The one-time fee is being reduced to $200, down from $1,671, until March 1, 2024, according to the city.
“By reducing the cost of the permit, it's hoped that more businesses will hire more musicians and offer more entertainment,” city officials said in a release.
Businesses interested in the discounted live music permit should:
Complete a Use Permit application and include a letter of explanation with the entertainment options being considered and a floor plan of the site.
“Live music is part of what makes Tempe special. It contributes to our overall community atmosphere and helps make Tempe a top destination for visitors and global companies alike,” said Councilmember Joel Navarro.
“Making it easier for businesses to hire musicians not only helps the business, it grows our art scene and our economy.”
