Special Occasion Permits

Special Occasion Permit (SOP) is required if you are planning to sell or serve liquor at special occasions, such as weddings, charity fundraisers and receptions.  SOPs are available for any type of location other than a residence, but common areas of multiple unit residential buildings are not disqualified.  It is unnecessary to obtain an SOP if an event is already being conducted under the authority of a caterer’s endorsement.
