CAMP for Alcohol Licensing Launching Soon
Mark your calendars! No paper applications accepted after July 31.
Phase 2 of OLCC's new Cannabis and Alcohol Management Program, also known as CAMP, is launching soon, transforming our alcohol licensing and permit processes to an online platform. CAMP for marijuana licensing (Phase 1) went live earlier this year.
Effective July 31, we will no longer accept paper applications for special events and annual licenses via mail, email, or in-person drop-off.
The forms to submit to your local government for will change along with this new process and will be available August 1. If you get the current paper application endorsed during the transition, no need to resubmit with new forms. Just upload a scanned endorsed copy as your local government endorsement during online application.
If your Special Event begins between August 1 and August 25 and you cannot submit your application to the OLCC earlier than August 1, please
contact us for assistance.

CAMP
What is changing?
Effective immediately,
we are accepting applications with
either:
-
valid proof of submission of the OLCC Liquor License Application to the local government, or
- the final recommendation from the local government
What is valid proof of submission from the local government?
Each local government processes applications in a unique way per its city or county ordinances. Your
proof of submission MUST include these key 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 submit my application to the OLCC?
Once
you receive proof of submission from your local government, you may
submit that proof along with your complete application to:
OLCC.LiquorLicenseApplication@Oregon.gov
NOTE: For tracking purposes, please submit all materials at the same time, in the same email.
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.

What types of applications need a recommendation from the local government?
Local
government recommendation is clearly explained on the Liquor License
Application. This is a four-page application that is used for many
situations, including, but not limited to New Outlets, Change of
Ownership, and Change of Location.
Other license actions and
Out-of-State permits do not require recommendation from the local
government. If you do not see any requirement for local government
recommendation on your application, you can ignore these instructions.
