All fees for the DeSoto Civic Center are set by the DeSoto City Council and are subject to change.
Deposits
- Deposits will be refunded by mail approximately thirty (30) days after the event if all policies are followed.
- If the signer of the contract moves and does not notify the Parks and Recreation Department prior to the rental, there will be a delay for the re-issuing of another refund check.
Subleasing
At no time shall a user sublease or assign its reservation to another individual, group, or organization. Facility users are not allowed to change rooms with other facility users.
Alcohol Policy
The serving of alcoholic beverages for on-premise possession and consumption shall only be permitted at the DeSoto Civic Center and the Corner Theatre provided such service is authorized through a facility use rental agreement. The requestor must provide an approximate number of people expected to attend the event and comply with all city requirements for protection of the health, safety and welfare of the community. In cases of multiple requests, permits or facility use agreements shall be granted on a first come, first serve basis. If the Director determines that the conduct of the permitted activity requires additional security precautions be taken to permit the service of alcoholic beverages at the event, the Director shall impose a fee to defray the cost of furnishing adequate security forces by the city at the proposed event.
For questions regarding the alcohol policy and security requirements please contact Parks and Recreation Office at 972-230-9650 or by e-mail at civiccenter@desototexas.gov.
