Liquor Special Event Permit

Liquor Special Event Permits (SEP’s) allow the sale, by the drink only, of fermented malt beverages, or of malt, spirituous, or vinous liquors, as defined in Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) Article 5, Title 44.

SEP’s are only available to particular groups and organizations, as defined in C.R.S. 44-5-102 and are limited to 15 days per calendar year and are issued for private events only.  Please refer to the CO Liquor Enforcement Division BULLETIN 18-05 – Private Events – Compliance regarding what is considered a private or public event.

Permits are approved and issued by the Town Clerk and applications for a special event permit at any Town of Granby owned location will require approval from the Local Licensing Authority. 

Once the application is complete applicants will submit it and associated fees (or receipts if payments made online) to the Office of the Town Clerk.  Once the application has been assessed and reviewed the Town will provide the permit and file all paperwork with the State and ensure proper public notices are posted.

Liquor Special Event Permit fees are payable to the Town of Granby and are currently $25 per day for a malt, vinous and spiritous liquor permit, and $10 per day for a fermented malt beverage permit.   Payments can be made by check, payable to the Town of Granby, or online at the Town of Granby’s Online Payments page.

Applications for SEP’s must be submitted to the Town Clerk at least thirty (30) days prior to the event.
