How do I get a liquor license or permit?

Effective January 1, 2024, all new liquor permit applications must be submitted through our online portal, as paper applications will no longer be accepted. Our website provides comprehensive guidance, including a detailed glossary of terms, step-by-step instructions for accessing the online application portal, and information on what documents are needed to complete your application.

Whether you're applying for an on-premise permit for restaurants and bars, an off-premise permit for stores, or a manufacturer's permit for breweries and distilleries, our resources, including a Permit Identifier Quiz and an Exclusion Grid, are designed to assist you in selecting the correct permit and understanding the application process.

We aim to make the transition to online applications seamless, offering tools to save your progress and complete your application at your convenience, ensuring you have all the necessary information to apply for your liquor permit successfully.
