NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ONLY - NEW OPTION AVAILABLE:
SPECIAL DESIGNATED LICENSE EVENTS FOR (6) NON-CONSECUTIVE DATES AT ONE LOCATION - NO PORTAL ENTRY FOR THIS OPTION
A new option is available for applicants of non-profit organizations that do not hold a permanent license.
It is now acceptable for qualified non-profit applicants to file up to six non-consecutive dates on one application. This is only acceptable if the event is held at the same location. The payment for the first date remains the same at $40.00, however the 2nd through the 6th date will be $10.00 per day.
Since our current SDL portal does not allow for this type of payment and use of non-consecutive dates, our office will need to manually enter the application using the same forms. Please contact Misty Wessel if this is an option for your organization. We will discuss how payment will be made and other documents needed for our office to enter and process your application. There will be no refunds for applications that are entered on the portal by the applicant, and only one application can be sent per calendar year.
