If an auction is held prior to the expiration of a liquor license that allows off premise sale of alcohol, the auctioneer may act as an agent for the licensee, selling the alcohol stock as any licensee normally would. If the auction is held after expiration of the license, or if the license only allows for on premise consumption, permission for the auction must be obtained from the Liquor Control Commission before the auction. Requests for permission must be made in writing prior to the date of the sale, and must include the date, time and location of the auction.
