How to Start
Step 1:
Complete the entertainment application. Submit it to the License Commission with the zoning sign-offs from Inspectional Services Department and a floor plan which delineates where the entertainment will be offered.
Step 2:
Any application requesting either live entertainment or amplification, an advertised hearing will take place. As such, you must submit a $175 check with the application. Also, once the advertisement runs, you must copy it and serve it upon all legal abutters at least 7 days prior to the hearing. Prior to or at the hearing, you must provide an Affidavit of Notice to Abutters. Your presence is required at the hearing.
