Please apply online at least four weeks prior to your event, but it is never too early to apply. We encourage you to apply early in case we have questions about your application.
Important: To complete this application, you should be signed into eLicense using an account registered to the sponsoring entity. In other words, when you set up the eLicense account, you must use the noncommercial entity’s name and should selected the “business” option instead of the “individual” option.
- Example: John Smith wants to apply for festival permit in the name of the charity he volunteers at named “Best Friends Pet Adoption Society.” John will be the permittee. When he logs into eLicense and creates an account, he will make sure the account is set up under the name Best Friends Pet Adoption Society and select "Business". He will enter his own name as Permittee when filling out the application.
After you are logged into the noncommercial entity’s account, navigate to the “Online Services” tab in the top right of the screen and then click “initial application” from the drop-down menu.
On the next screen, scroll until you see “Liquor Control.” Expand the menu and select “Temporary Noncommercial Liquor Permit (LTN).”
Click “Start” on the next screen and follow the prompts.
After you finish your application, you will submit it to Liquor Control. Staff will review and email you if there are any concerns or issues with your application. If everything is all set, your permit will be emailed to you.
