Special Event Liquor Licenses
A Special Event (Series 15) License is a temporary license which allows a charitable, civic, fraternal, political, or religious organization to sell and serve spirituous liquor.
- Applications for events taking place on an unlicensed premises or on any portion of a location that is not covered by an existing liquor license are filed with the local jurisdiction first, and then forwarded to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) for final approval.
- Applications for events taking place entirely within an already licensed premises can be submitted directly to the DLLC. The application must include a letter from the licensed business (see Section 3 of the Special Event License application for details).
- If the event will take place at a location within unincorporated Yuma County, please file your documents with the Yuma County Clerk of the Board. Not sure if your event location is within the City of Yuma? Check the address on the City of Yuma General Map.
Applications should be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office a minimum of 45 days prior to the event and must be received by the DLLC at least 10 days prior to the event. A Special Event License Application may be obtained in person at the City Clerk's Office or downloaded from the DLLC website.
Additional requirements may apply to events taking place in a City street, park, or on other City property. For more information, please contact the City Clerk's Office.
