| Guide to Liquor Licensing |
|
As the state’s alcohol regulatory agency, the OLCC wants you to have the information you need to effectively participate in Oregon’s liquor licensing process. Your participation helps the OLCC address issues related to the sale and service of alcohol in your community.
The OLCC's Guide to Liquor Licensing in Oregon is designed for citizens and local governments. The OLCC welcomes your involvement in the state’s liquor licensing process. We want you to understand how the licensing process works and how you can become effectively involved in liquor licenses pending in your community.
Under Oregon law, the OLCC is given criteria to evaluate liquor license applications. The OLCC’s decision to grant or deny a license must be based on only these criteria, which is important for involved citizens to understand.
The OLCC does NOT have authority to address these issues:
- Nude dancing and other forms of legal entertainment
- Litter other than alcoholic beverage containers and related litter
- Advertising not related to alcohol
- Inadequate parking
- Traffic congestion
- Devaluation of property
- Zoning-related issues
- Saturation of liquor outlets in an area
If you live in Portland and have concerns about liquor licensing in your neighborhood, contact the City of Portland, Office of Neighborhood Involvement.
Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to understand and have a meaningful role in liquor licensing. We look forward to working with you to address public safety and community livability standards.
