Liquor License Endorsement – Business License

Liquor License Endorsement – Business License

How do I apply for a new business license?

  • Determine the type of permit you need. Information and Oregon Liquor Control Commission’s (OLCC’s) new Local Government Recommendation form are available through the new CAMP system on the Oregon Liquor Control Commission website.  
  • Complete the required OLCC License information through CAMP.
  • If your business is in the unincorporated areas of Benton County, complete the Benton County Liquor License Endorsement Application and attach a copy of OLCC’s new Local Government Recommendation form.
  • Submit your completed application, OLCC’s new Local Government Recommendation form, and fees to BCSO located at 180 NW 5th Street, Corvallis, OR 97330.

How do I renew my existing business license?

Liquor licenses must be renewed annually.

If you have a current license to sell liquor and your business is in the unincorporated area of Benton County, a notice of renewal will be sent to you from both OLCC and the Sheriff’s Office. These letters are mailed every year in the spring.

Annual licensees will first submit their renewal to the OLCC where the CAMP system will auto-fill the application form, making it suitable for downloading and printing. The OLCC pre-filled application will be ready for licensees to submit to their local government for endorsement review. A local government won’t be required to submit an endorsed application to the OLCC.

The licensee will then submit to the Sheriff’s Office the OLCC Local Government Recommendation form, Benton County Liquor License Endorsement Application, along with renewal fee by the deadline stated in your renewal letter.

What if I have a change to my business information?

Once licensed, any change to your business information must be submitted through the OLCC and our office. Changes might include change in business name, change in ownership or co-ownership, new address, etc. You will need to specify the change when you submit your documents.

Complete the Benton County Liquor License Endorsement Application and attach a copy of OLCC’s new Local Government Recommendation form printed from the OLCC CAMP system.

Submit these documents with your change fees to our office. See below for details.

What county fees are required?

  • $100 for new licenses
  • $75 for a change in an existing license

When submitting fees, please make your check or money order out to “BCSO.”  At this time we are not accepting credit or debit cards for payment.
