Option for renters to get one Special Occasion liquor permit. The fee for the Limited Special Occasion permit is $50.00, and it must be submitted and approved before the scheduled event. Note: A limited special occasion permit authorizes the permittee to bring fortified wine and spirituous liquor onto the premises of a business, with the permission of the owner of that property, and to serve those alcoholic beverages to the permittee’s guests at a reception, wedding, party or other special occasion being held there. The permit may be issued to any individual other than the owner or possessor of the premises. Please note, if only beer and/or unfortified wine (16% alcohol or less) is being served at no charge to your guests over the age of 21 years old at a free event and you have the permission of the owner of the premises to serve alcohol on their premises then it is not necessary to obtain an ABC permit. Applications for Limited Special Occasion permits must be submitted at least 14 days before the event.
