Permit Escrow Hearings
A permit holder that is unable to immediately put an alcohol permit into active use and operation is required to deposit its permit in escrow with the Commission. Upon approval of the Commission, permits deposited in escrow receive an initial deposit term of twenty-four (24) months. Upon the expiration of the initial 24-month deposit term, a permit holder may request additional extensions to receive a third, fourth, and fifth year of escrow, if needed. Permits that are not made active or put into operation within five (5) years of being deposited into escrow revert back to the Commission in accordance with IC 7.1-3-1.1-3.

Local Board Hearings
Each of Indiana's 92 counties has a local alcoholic beverage board (local board) that investigates and votes on all applications for alcoholic beverage retailer and dealer permits in their respective county. Each local board is comprised of four members – one appointed by the board of county commissioners, one appointed by the chief executive of the largest city or town in the county, one by the county fiscal body, and one designated by the Commission, who is usually an officer of the Indiana State Excise Police. For a list of local board officers by Excise district and county, please click here.
Local board hearing schedules are updated on a regular and ongoing basis in order to reflect hearings scheduled for each month. However, please keep in mind that the local board hearing schedule only includes those applications that have been recently advertised for a local board hearing (as required by Indiana law). There may be other applications scheduled to be heard at a local board hearing that were continued from previous dates and/or added after creation of the local board hearing schedule. A current schedule of local board hearings, including dates and locations, can be accessed by clicking on the link below:
Please refer to the ATC's Local Board Handbook for more information regarding the local board hearing process.
