  • Email
  • Mail: 2000 14th Street, NW, Suite 400 South, 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20009

Protests

An incorporated community association can protest a placarded license application if:

  • Membership in the association is open to all residents of the area represented by the association.
  • A resolution supporting or opposing the licensee’s application is submitted at a meeting conducted under the association’s bylaws or articles of incorporation. 
  • Notice of the meeting is provided at least 7 days before the date of the meeting to any affected ABC licensee or applicant.
