Liability Insurance

Some lessees may be required to obtain a Liability Insurance Policy for their event that lists the City of Mauldin as co-insured. If your event carries a “special risk” (e.g. alcohol, inflatables, animals, heating elements, etc.), you may be required to obtain a policy.

The City offers a low-cost event-specific insurance program, Tenant User Liability Insurance Program (TULIP). If you believe your event may require this insurance, please contact the Cultural Center staff for the Venue ID Code, which can be used to obtain a quote from OneBeacon Insurance Group.
