On-Premises Permit Forms & Instructions
You must apply online. However, you may look at a historical copy of our paper On-Premises Application and Instructions to get a general idea of the information and documentation necessary to complete an online application. We no longer accept paper applications. There are 3 permit types that require specialized information:
1. Festival
3. Tobacco Bar
You may be required to submit some of the below forms as part of your application. Below is a description of common forms and when they are required. If a form is marked with an asterisk (*), then it is always required.
