Local government recommendations

The liquor license renewal process begins three months before the licenses expire, when the OLCC sends a list of licensees that are eligible for renewal to all cities and counties in a renewal district. They have 60 days to make a recommendation to the OLCC about the 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 processes the renewal as if it received a favorable recommendation.

License renewal applications

License renewal applications are mailed to licensees approximately two months before the licenses expire. The license applicant must return the completed application to the OLCC at least 20 days before the license expires to avoid late fees. Applicants cannot legally sell or serve alcohol after the license expires.

For duplicate renewal applications, please submit a request to OLCC.Renewals@oregon.gov.
