CAMP is now live for Alcohol Licensing

All licensing processes must now be completed using the online CAMP platform

Exciting news - CAMP for Alcohol Licensing is officially live! Effective immediately, we no longer accept paper applications for annual licenses or special events. All applications must be submitted through our innovative online platform.

Note: The new Local Government Recommendation form is now available, with separate versions for Annual Liquor Licenses and Special Event Licenses. Please make sure that you are using the correct form. If you already had your paper application endorsed, you may upload the scanned endorsed copy as your local government endorsement during online application in CAMP.

NEW Local Government Recommendation Form
Note: There are separate versions for Annual Liquor Licenses and Special Event Licenses. Please make sure that you are using the correct form. At least sections 1 and 2 of the form must be completed and submitted to the local government prior to applying with the OLCC. Once you receive a response from the local government, you will need to upload that documentation as part of your online CAMP application.

Additionally, some local governments provide their own documentation that can also satisfy this requirement. You may use either the OLCC-provided Local Government Recommendation Form or your local government's own document, as long as your submission contains at least the following pieces of information:

  • Date the local government received the application
  • Trade Name of the business
  • Premises street address (where the business will be located)
  • Name of the local government (city or county name)
  • That the submission is for a Liquor License

How do I find my local government?
To find the correct local government for your application, we recommend searching the internet for “Your City or County” + OLCC Liquor License. This will typically return a search result that will help guide you to the appropriate office in your jurisdiction. Common departments for processing LGB recommendations include Planning & Development, Civic Life, or the Sheriff’s Office; however, each local government is different.
