Renewal Notes

Permits expire annually. Renewal applications must be submitted at least 45 days before expiration. Louisiana requires both state and local (parish) permits for most establishments.

Required — Responsible Vendor Program (RVP) — mandatory for all establishments selling alcohol. All employees must complete server training.

Penalty for Lapsed License

Operating without a valid permit carries fines up to $1,000 and up to 6 months imprisonment. Responsible Vendor status is lost, resulting in higher penalties for any alcohol violations.
