The Chamber is excited to have successfully advocated for significant changes to Alabama law that impacts the process for non-profits to acquire a Special Events permit from the ABC Board. Below are helpful links and documents that can be used by non-profits to facilitate and expedite the permitting process.
Subtle errors can cause significant delays in the application process. Some things to watch for/make for certain of include but are not limited to:
Your organization name on ALL documents, including any body copy reference within notification letter, matches EXACTLY to the organization's name as registered with the Alabama Secretary of State. This includes IRS 501 designation letter. If your organization's name has changed, you can request an updated affirmation letter by calling IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Customer Account Services at (877) 829-5500
The address on ALL documents matches the physical address of the event listed on the application. Please note that a facility license that may be issued to the same address will require that ALL documents identify the exact suite, room, or other parcel-defining letter or number. (e.g. Suite B, etc.)
Rental contracts for venues must include the exact physical address (including any suite or room designation that matches application) and must be signed by both the applicant and the property owner.
