1. How do I obtain a One-Day Beer & Wine License?

One-Day Beer & Wine licenses are obtained online via ViewPermit. One you’ve completed an online application, the town receives a notification and submits your application to be reviewed by the Selectboard.
As the local licensing authority, the Selectboard must approve the license. This occurs during Selectboard meetings. The Selectboard meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month, unless otherwise noted.
You will be notified through ViewPermit of your application’s approval status following the Selectboard meeting at which it was reviewed. If approved, your license is available to print via ViewPermit.
Please note: An organization is allowed no more than 30 One-Day Beer & Wine licenses per calendar year.
