The Transporter's Liquor Permit application must be accompanied by the filing fee of $100, as well as the initial permit fee of $1250. A check or money order in the amount of $1350 should be made payable to "Treasurer, State of Connecticut." The application filing fee is non-refundable. A photocopy of the carrier's authority permit must accompany the application.

Bonds
