License Renewal Information

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.

Renewal District Map

Renewal dates for liquor licenses are determined by the location of the business. Oregon is divided into four renewal districts, with all licenses within a renewal district expiring on the same date.

 

Local government recommendations

The liquor license renewal process begins approximately 135 days before the licenses expire, when the OLCC notifies local governments of the licenses in their jurisdictions that are eligible for their upcoming renewal. They have 60 days to make a recommendation to the OLCC about renewing licenses. During the 60-day period they can request an additional 45 days to investigate specific licenses, if they are considering an unfavorable recommendation. At the end of 60 days, if there is no recommendation for a license, the OLCC will process the renewal as if it received a favorable recommendation.
 

License renewal applications

License Renewals will be made available in the CAMP portal 75 days before license expiration. The license applicant must submit their online renewal application via CAMP at least 20 days before the license expires to avoid late fees. If licensees do not submit a renewal application, they cannot legally sell or serve alcohol after the license expires. If they submit their renewal application, their license will remain active until a renewal decision is reached for that application.
