Each request must be accompanied by the name and telephone number of a person who can answer additional questions about the proposed proclamation, if any.
Individual(s) or organization(s) seeking a proclamation must accompany the request with:
- Facts about the subject matter – enough information for four sections
- Specific title of what is being proclaimed.

All proclamations must be picked up at the City Hall reception desk unless prior arrangements have been made.
Any proclamation to be presented to a City board, commission, or department must be approved in advance.
The City of Tyler will issue a proclamation at no charge to recognize local non-profit organizations and initiatives for their outstanding achievements in the community, as well as special event(s) or day(s) that are noteworthy or historically significant. Proclamations will not be issued for commercial purposes, such as the opening of a new business, service, product, or professional service. This also includes business anniversaries that are less than 25 years old. In addition, proclamations will not be issued for deceased persons, birthdays, weddings, or family reunions. The Mayor of Tyler will make the final decision on whether to issue a proclamation. Proclamations will not be issued to non-residents or for non-Tyler events unless specifically approved by the Mayor of Tyler.
