Proclamation Request Form
Ceremonial proclamations from Mayor Donna Deegan may be requested according to the following guidelines and submitted via the application below. Only 10 proclamations will be issued per month. Understanding that proclamations, by their form and function, are data-driven documents, they are reserved for very specific occasions, as detailed below. Requests that do not meet the prescribed parameters may be fulfilled or altered, per the mayor’s discretion.

Please read the eligibility requirements below, and note that the administration reserves the right to reject, adapt or accept requests based on these guidelines.
  • Anniversaries of businesses, organizations, nonprofits and other Duval County agencies on milestone years, beginning at 50 years and proceeding in 5-year increments.
  • Annual events celebrating milestone years (see criteria above). Inaugural events may be considered. 
  • Designations of parks, streets or other public markers recognized as significant historic locations within Duval County.
  • Honorary Citizens to nationally/internationally recognized heroes, guests, entertainers/artists, or dignitaries as a welcome to Jacksonville and commemoration of his/her importance to both our city and the nation.
  • Recognition of deceased individuals who made significant contributions as a citizen to the improvement, well-being or growth of Jacksonville.
  • Awareness of broad, national, sometimes global, issues directly affecting our city. Educating the general public on specifics involving how to protect from, prevent, research or eradicate the issue at hand.
  • Community Outreach to support local organizations and events that have a positive influence on Jacksonville’s quality of life.
* Only one copy is provided per proclamation. Duplicates are at the discretion of the Public Affairs Office.
* Due to the large number of requests received, forms submitted with fewer than 30 days’ notice (taking consideration of national holidays, when the office is not staffed) may be cause for rejection.
* Questions? Please email pperry@coj.net.
