Operator Licensing
1) How do I obtain an Operator's (Bartender's) license?
To apply for your operator's license, complete the application (listed below). The Operator's (Bartender's) license is a 2-year license expiring June 30. The non-refundable fee is $27.00 and must be paid at the time of application. The Village currently accepts cash, check or credit as forms of payment. The application must be filled out completely.
A record check will be completed by the Village Office staff and the Village Board that will approve or deny the application based on information the applicant has provided on the application. If the record check reveals information which was not reported on your application, your application may be rejected.
State law requires that applicants complete an approved Responsible Beverage Server's course if they have neither held a license nor completed the course within the last 2 years. Proof must be supplied before a license will be issued. The course is offered Fox Valley Technical College for a nominal fee. For questions about the course, check out FVTC's website or call FVTC at (920) 849-4131 (Chilton) or (920) 735-4884 (Appleton). There are also other approved bartender's license online programs:

2) How do I renew my Operator's (Bartender's) license?
To renew your operator license with the Village, resubmit the operator license application (see below) to the Village Hall, along with the $27.00 non-refundable application fee. Just like the initial application, the renewal acceptance is contingent upon the approval of the Village Board.
