ACE is anchored by teams from Transportation, Parks, Music, Police, Fire, EMS, Code, ARR, Development Services and partner agencies, and works closely with event organizers to guide them through the permitting process.

Austin Fire Department and the Fire Marshall issue several permits related to public assemblies, hazardous materials, and more.
