Raffle License

07/29/2026 IMPORTANT UPDATE - RAFFLE LICENSE REFUNDS.

You may be receiving a check from us for a raffle license overpayment. The refund is due to a clerical statute error, which shows that the fee for renewing a raffle license is still $25 and not $50 which was passed into law in July of 2025. You had previously paid $50 for your each of your renewals between July 5th 2025 and March 1st, 2026 so you received a refund check in the mail. Please cash this check and do not return it to our office.
