Please see Mayor's Emergency Rule #12 relating to Bars and Bar-Top Service

Effective July 1, 2020

Social distancing and safety practices remain in effect.  Masks are required to enter the office.

Beginning next week our office will begin mailing out packets for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Liquor License Renewals.  As is our usual protocol, packets will be sent to the mailing address provided on your previous year's renewal, or to the address listed on your initial application if you are a new licensee.  If you do not receive your packet by the end of April, please contact our office at 241-4966 or email liquor@kauai.gov. PLEASE NOTE: Per Rule 2.6, applications shall be submitted NO EARLIER THAN June 1, and NO LATER than June 30.

As we are unsure when our office return to its normal operations due to the COVID-19 events, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation in trying to make the renewal process as smooth as possible.

Please make sure to read through the packet documents thoroughly to ensure you follow all procedures accordingly, and obtain the correct documents, and contact us should you have any questions regarding the renewal requirements. This will help avoid any delays or problems with processing your application. 

Mahalo, and stay safe and healthy, Kauai.
