The city of Green Bay has announced the deadlines for licenses related to activities surrounding the National Football League Draft, which is scheduled to take place from April 24 to 26, 2025. This announcement was made in a press release dated March 12, 2025.

According to the city of Green Bay, mobile food vendors must apply for a license by April 3 if they wish to operate food trucks or trailers where food is prepared. Licenses are issued by the City Clerk’s office, and applicants are required to comply with city regulations as outlined in Chapter 10, Article XIV of the ordinance. The processing time for these applications is approximately two to three weeks, and vendors must provide a government-issued ID.

Direct sellers and solicitors also face application deadlines. Direct sellers need to apply for a permit by April 10. While direct sellers operate from fixed locations, solicitors move from place to place. The fees for direct seller permits are $100 per month or $350 annually, whereas solicitor licenses cost $25 per month or $100 annually. Applications require identification, background checks, and a passport-sized photo for solicitors. Sales in city parks are prohibited, and applicants must appear in person to ensure compliance with city ordinances.

Liquor establishments have until April 3 to submit applications for temporary expansions of their licensed premises. These expansions can last up to seven days between April 1 and May 1, 2025. Approval is required from both the Protection & Policy Committee and the Common Council. Applications must be submitted at least one week before the committee meeting, with all expansions needing prior approval from the Inspections Department.

The Green Bay Clerk’s Office manages elections, licensing, and city records under City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys while also handling invoice payments. Election-related inquiries can be submitted through an online form. Property tax payments are accepted at City Hall from mid-December through early February for either the first installment or full amount; thereafter Brown County processes payments. The office also maintains the official committee and council schedule for 2025.
