How do we obtain a liquor license?

In order to obtain a liquor license for an event, please follow these steps at least 10 days prior, but not more than 30 days in advance of an event:

1. Complete the attached form - Daily License Application State of CA Liquor (below). Instructions on completing the form and an example of a completed form are also attached to this article. 
   
   
2. Have the event venue owner sign the liquor license form. 
   
   
3. Bring the completed form to the insurance team at Community Partners for our sign-off. The form requires a signature in blue ink from a Community Partners staff member.
   
   
4. Take the completed and signed form in person to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) along with the application fee (which ranges from $25 to $100 per day.) The application fee must be paid by money order or a cashier's check. If you want to use your project's funds to pay the application fee, please follow the vendor bill process. 
   
   
5. ABC will call Community Partners when the permit is ready for pick-up and we will notify you that it is ready. If it's time sensitive and you haven't heard from us, please call the ABC directly to check on the status. 
   
   
6. Be sure to have the permit on hand during the day of the event.
   
   
7. If you paid for the ABC fee from personal funds, submit a check request via NetSuite to accounts payable for reimbursement of the fee.
