Published Community Room Rate Examples

The detailed rental page provides these figures, but the city’s adopted 2026 fee ordinance permits broader rates and changes for some categories. Use this table as a starting reference and obtain the current event quote.

2026 rate discrepancy: Olathe’s adopted 2026 comprehensive fee schedule lists community-room weekday rates ranging from $50–$400 per hour and premium Friday–Sunday rates ranging from $80–$1,000 per hour, while the detailed venue page displays lower rates for certain room combinations.
