While I understand it’s intent and am all for keeping ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES out of the hands of minors, the way I’m reading this, any of us that rent our property and allow guests to bring alchol on the premise will now have to go to the ICT and get a document to present to a municipality to obtain a five year liscense to “market” beverages on the property.
Am I reading this correctly?
Any insight here would be helpful because the law as I read it is very ambiguous because it bounces back and fourth between selling and “marketing” (use) on private property that is rented.
Scott – have you looked at this? I’d post it but it’s 14 pages.
Sorry! I know nothing about it…
Sounds like one of the many laws that people will totally ignore …

Well normally I would agree, however the document was sent to me by a municiple official so I have to assume at least in our area it’s going to be enforced.:cry:

Perhaps, it has the same origin as the ‘pet spoof’. They mention [i]”The no.ticiero.com, a fake news site not unlike The Onion, is a great morning picker-upper, bringing us stories we would certainly love to read about our loved Costa Rica”[/i]

I think you got lost in translation ? I can’t find any law that would require a liquor license for private parties. Does the document show anything like “ley……..” or “decreto……” and the number of the law ?
Articles in today’s [url=http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nacion.com%2F2012-08-12%2FElPais%2Fley-impone-multa-de–180-000-a-quien-tome–licor-en-la-calle.aspx&anno=2]La Nación[/url] and [url=http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2012/august/12/costarica12081206.htm]Insidecostarica[/url] have more info on aspects of the new liquor law.
I do hope it means curtailing alcohol in vehicles, especially when they are moving….
I cringe when I see kids in a car, when the driver has a bottle or can at his mouth!! What a bad example to set.:roll:
I don’t expect everyone to have the same opinionWell it’s taken a few days but I finally found out that because we advertise our pool and bar area for rent (weddings, birthdays, special occassions) that a local official thought we should apply for an E-1 (hotel less than 15 rooms liquor permit).
However once it was explained that we do not supply, sell or offer liquor (renters have to supply their own refreshments) then it was a non-issue.
The rate though was only $60.00 per quarter and a 17% tax so much less than $60K a guy wanted to sell us his license several years ago!
