Temporary Permits

Temporary permits are only valid for a few days at a time, cannot be renewed, and are used for specific alcohol sale and service needs. We have temporary permits for three types of events: non-profit fundraising, festivals, and professional auctions. We do not have general temporary permits for:

Private parties: If you are hosting a private party and are providing alcohol to your guests for free, you do not need a permit.
For-profit events: If you are a business and want to sell alcohol at an event, you cannot apply for these permits. You need to hire a licensed caterer.

Non-Profit Fundraising

Allows noncommercial entities to sell beer, cider, wine, and spirits at fundraising events or social gatherings
