The Order from the State Health Officer limits gatherings to groups of ten people or less. As a result, we realize that events will need to be cancelled. To assist the industry during this difficult time, the Alabama ABC Board is allowing alcohol industry members that have acquired a temporary license for an event that has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic to apply for a refund of their license and filing fees. To request a refund, send an email to the ABC Licensing and Compliance Division (licensing@abc.alabama.gov) that includes the following information:
- Subject: “Event Permit Refund – Coronavirus”
- Short statement explaining that you are seeking a refund for the application fees you paid for a temporary permit because the event for which the permit was acquired was cancelled due to the Coronavirus situation.
- Temporary Special Event license number
- Name of the cancelled event
- Physical location at which the event was to take place
- Date on which you began or planned to begin conducting activities under the permit
- Date the event was cancelled (attach the cancellation notice)
- Name of the company seeking a refund
- Current mailing address
- A copy of the W-9
