Here are instructions for accessing the online application portal. Here is a glossary of commonly used application terms.

All online applications have detailed information at the beginning to describe what information you will need to complete it and what documentation you need ready to upload. You can start an online application, save your work, and complete it later. The forms you need for each online application are below. We will continue updating our website to reflect online applications and provide detailed information tailored to applicants applying on-line. However, the application requirements are the same for paper applications and online applications. For now, it might be helpful to view a paper application and our paper application instructions (below) to understand what information you will need to complete an online application.

You must know what permit you'd like before you begin. If you need help deciding between the right type of on-premise permit (restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.) or off-premise permit (package store, grocery store, etc.), please try our Permit Identifier Quiz to help guide you. If you hold other liquor permits, you should also check our Exclusion Grid to determine what other permits you can have at the same time. If you need help understanding the application, review our Glossary of Commonly Used Words. Additionally, most permits have webpages that provide you with more information about each permit type:
