BAZAAR AND RAFFLE PERMITS
Chapter 940 CMR 13.00: Regulations Governing Bazaars
and M.G.L.Chapter 271, s7A governing Raffles.
All non-profit organizations must be in existence a minimum
of two years, registered with the state, and must apply
for a raffle/bazaar permit in order to conduct raffle or bazaar
fund raisers. There is no exception to this rule. Raffle and
Bazaar permits are two separate licenses. The cost for
such permits is $20 for a new permit and a $10 fee for
renewal of existing permits.

Your charity should be registered and proof will be necessary
to obtain a raffle/bazaar permit. The Town Clerk's Office has
the applications for new and established non-profit organizations.
Permits must be renewed yearly. Please pay special attention
to the date on your current permit, so you do not miss the
renewal date.
For Las Vegas Nights and Texas Holdem, they are licensed through
the Mass Lottery Commission.
