Do I Need a Series 15 Liquor License Application?

If you are organizing a special event and do not represent a distillery, winery, or brewery, then you likely require a Series 15 liquor license. You must apply for this license 10 days before the event is held. If the event is held on licensed premises, then there is no need for local approval by a governing board. If the event is held at a location that does not have a liquor license, such as a field, then the local governing body must approve the event.

If the event meets the requirements for granting the license and the application is approved by the local governing body, the liquor board director may issue a special event license to that organization. Once granted, the license can be used for no more than 10 days. You can streamline the application process by working with a Series 15 liquor license application lawyer who provides legal consultation.
