Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office AMCO requests permit applications be submitted at least 5 business days before the event, unless otherwise stated on the application by the type of event. This allows for processing and for corrections to be made to your application. We can only guarantee a review and approval/denial on a permit request submitted 5 business days before event. All permit applications must be received at least 5 business days in advance of the event. Special events permit applications must be received at least 10 business days prior to the event date. Applications received after these deadlines cannot be guaranteed to be processed. Incomplete or incorrect applications will be returned to the applicant for corrections.

Prior to applying for a permit, we strongly encourage you to review your non-profit entity and ensure your non-profit is in good standing, officials are up to date, and if required, the entity has filed its biennial report. AMCO will return permit applications that do not match the CBPL database. If your non-profit information is outdated, contact CBPL to file the necessary paperwork. If you are short for time, you may include a copy of the forms submitted to CBPL with your permit application to show the updated information.
