Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office Recent News AMCO is closed for in-person service on Wednesdays. This will permit our staff to focus on backlogs. During these brief closures, we are actively addressing and resolving all immediate needs, such as completion of license delegations, scheduling inspections, and issuing marijuana handler permits and alcoholic beverage event permits. You may still email us and drop off documents in our Dropbox outside Suite 1600. We hope to return to regular in-person service as soon as possible and will update you accordingly. Alcoholic Beverage Licensees 2024-2025 renewals.
