Rental Policy

Exclusive use rental requests must be made by completing the appropriate Rental Reservation Application: Kent County Community Center Building Rental Applicatiion, Park Pavilion Rental Application, or Pool Rental Application. The Application must be turned in with the deposit (if applicable) during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, excluding holidays).

Applications for exclusive use rentals must be received by the Department no less than 30 days prior to the desired rental date. Reservation requests are approved on a first come, first serve basis. The Department will notify the reservation applicant within 48 business hours and inform of availability.

If the desired rental date is not available, the Department will offer another available option. If other dates are unable to be agreed upon, the Department will cancel the application process and return the application deposit (if applicable; may take up to three weeks to process).

If the desired rental date is available, the fees below must be paid within seven calendar days of receiving notification from the Department. If the full rental payment is not received within seven calendar days of this notification, the Department will cancel the reservation. Once the payment is received, an approved Rental Contract will be provided to the Contractholder.

Depending upon the type and size of the requested rental, applicants may be required to furnish a valid copy of a Certificate of Liability Insurance prior to final contract approval. Applicants who do not possess liability insurance will be provided information for a company that will offer liability insurance at the applicant's expense.

All applicants will be required to sign an agreement indemnifying and holding Kent County, its elected officials, employees, and other workers harmless from and against all loss, costs, expense, damage liabilities, or claims, etc.

Cancellations must be received by the Department, during normal business hours, at least seven calendar days prior to the event to qualify for a full refund, minus a $5 processing fee. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of 50% of the rental fee (the full application deposit will be refunded; if applicable).

Any changes (i.e. time, date, capacity, etc.) must be made at least seven calendar days prior to the event, and all changes are subject to approval by the Department.
