§ 4-5. Issuance of raffle permits; statement to be filed.  


Latest version.
  • (a) 
    Raffle permits are issued to qualifying nonprofit organizations wishing to run a raffle in the Town of Durham. There are various classes of raffle permits which are based on factors such as the length of time tickets will be sold and the aggregate value of prizes to be awarded. The application fees differ for each raffle permit type. Examples of raffles are cash prizes, duck race, cow chip, frog race, golf ball drop, etc. If total prizes exceed $7,500, the Town shall investigate the qualifications of the organization and verify the facts on the application.
    (b) 
    After each raffle has been permitted and completed, a verified statement, to include gross receipts, expenses, net profit and prizes awarded, is to be filed with the office of the First Selectman of the Town of Durham by the organization at the end of the next succeeding month. There is no payment to the Town in conjunction with the verified statement.
