Dallas is one of the few cities in Texas that publishes exactly how many restrooms your event needs — a table indexed to attendance against hours, a five percent ADA floor, and a clause that lets a written servicing confirmation reduce the count. Most vendors have never opened it. Four private suites with flush toilets, running water and air conditioning, run up I-35E from Waxahachie.
Dallas City Code Sec. 42A-19 and the City’s Special Event Guidebook set required restroom counts from a grid of expected attendance against hours of event. Four things in it change what you pay.
Rows by expected attendance, columns for one through ten hours. An event under 599 guests at four hours calls for five units. A 1,000 to 1,999 guest event running ten hours calls for thirteen. The numbers climb with duration far faster than most planners expect, which is why a long evening costs more restrooms than a bigger, shorter one.
The code says it plainly: at least five percent of the portable restrooms required by the section must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our trailer is entered by steps and is not an ADA unit. We will not pretend otherwise — on a permitted Dallas event we pair it with ADA-compliant portable restrooms so the obligation is actually met.
The Guidebook allows permanent on-site restrooms to be included in the count if they are accessible and you have written permission from the owner stating how many are available, broken out by male, female and accessible. On a venue with real facilities that is free capacity most planners never claim.
This is the clause worth money. Restroom requirements may be reduced with written confirmation from the vendor that restrooms will be serviced during the permitted event. We will put that in writing. It does not guarantee a reduction — that is the director’s call — but you cannot ask without it.
Dallas weddings happen on landscaped acreage, historic terraces and concrete floors, not in barns. Each of those puts the restroom problem in a different place.
The Dallas Arboretum runs 66 acres of landscaped garden and publishes up to 350 seated with a dance floor, or up to 500 for a cocktail reception. Arlington Hall at Turtle Creek Park publishes 400 for an outdoor ceremony and 250 for an outdoor reception. Outdoor capacity and indoor plumbing are two different numbers at both.
On The Levee runs over 12,000 square feet plus more than 2,500 square feet of covered outdoor patio and hosts up to 425. 2616 Commerce in Deep Ellum takes 250 on the ground floor and has a rooftop deck. Warehouse venues are where a trailer parked on the lot reads as intentional rather than apologetic.
Fair Park is 277 acres and a National Historic Landmark. Klyde Warren Park is 5.4 acres of deck over Woodall Rodgers drawing more than 1.5 million visitors a year. Both are public ground, which means the permit process and the 42A-19 table come with the booking.
Knotting Hill Place in Little Elm at 300, Stone Crest in McKinney at 275, The White Sparrow in Quinlan at 275, Rustic Grace Estate in Van Alstyne at 250 and The Grand Ivory in Leonard at 250. Further from our yard, and quoted accordingly — but we will give you the number before you book.
Full build sheet — tank capacities, dimensions, power, weight — plus interior photos and a calculator that runs your guest count and hours against published code tables to tell you whether four suites is enough. All of it on the main trailer page rather than repeated here.
See Specs & Size Your EventDallas runs a real process with real deadlines, and your restroom paperwork is part of the file.
Thirty calendar days for an event with no street closures, sixty for a static street closure, and 120 for a moving event like a parade or race. Applications are accepted up to a year ahead, and an event more than five months out qualifies for a courtesy review. These come from the City’s Guidebook — confirm the current figures with the Office of Special Events before you rely on them.
Before a permit is issued, the applicant has to provide the Office of Special Events a copy of the invoice or rental agreement for the required restrooms, or approval of the on-site facilities. Your vendor’s paperwork is not an afterthought here, it is part of the application.
More units can be required when attendance passes 100,000 in a day, when the event runs more than ten hours in a day, when alcohol is sold or served or made available, or when the event’s own history shows the published minimum was not enough. Alcohol is the one that catches wedding and festival planners.
The State Fair of Texas drew an estimated 2.1 million people across its 24-day run at Fair Park. The St. Patrick’s Parade puts more than 120,000 people on two miles of Greenville Avenue every March. The Dallas Marathon runs December 11 through 13, 2026 through the city’s neighbourhoods.
The trailer handles the guests you want it to handle. For overflow, vendors, crew, or the ADA units a permitted event requires, we run standard portable restrooms and hand wash stations off the same yard — and roll-off dumpsters if the site needs those too.

Our yard is in Waxahachie and we run up I-35E. Dallas is outside the zone where we publish a flat rate, so travel is quoted with the job and does not move afterward.
Somewhere not on this list? Call it in — we travel further for a long-term placement than we do for a Saturday. See the full trailer page.
The things planners and contractors here actually ask before they book.
It comes off a published grid of expected attendance against hours of event, not a per-person ratio. Give us headcount and duration and we will read it against the table with you. The Office of Special Events is the final word on your permit.
The City’s Guidebook says restroom requirements may be reduced with written confirmation from the vendor that restrooms will be serviced during the permitted event. We provide that confirmation in writing. The reduction itself is the director’s decision, not ours.
No. It is entered by steps. Dallas requires that at least five percent of the required restrooms comply with the ADA, so on a permitted event we pair the trailer with ADA-compliant portable units. We would rather say that up front than have you find out at the permit desk.
We quote it with the job. Days, distance from our Waxahachie yard, service visits and whether you need a generator all move the number. Call with the date, the venue and the headcount and you will get a real figure rather than a range.
Early morning delivery is the normal ask on Dallas jobs and we schedule for it. Tell us the load-in window the venue gives you and we will build the run backward from it.
Yes. Long-term is quoted differently from a weekend and the service frequency is set to the crew size. On a multi-month job a heated, lit restroom with running water does more for retention than most of the line items above it.
Four private suites, flush toilets, running water and air conditioning — plus a vendor who has read the ordinance your permit is going to be judged against.
