How can I obtain a permit to serve alcohol?
In order to serve alcohol on City property, you need to reserve a City-owned facility or park and submit an application for an alcohol permit at least 30 days prior to the event. Cash bars are not allowed and an off-duty police officer will need to be present at events serving alcohol at recreation centers.
To serve beer at your neighborhood block party, an alcohol permit is required. If you plan to block off a street you need to obtain a Traffic Control Permit.
