The Certificate of Compliance for all licenses requiring an ABLE license to sell alcohol will be issued by the City Clerk's office.  The inspections required are signed off through our new self-service portal by each department and therefore a wet signature is no longer needed.  Once all needed inspections for your license type have been completed and passed, the City Clerk's office will email you the Certificate of Compliance form that you need to submit with your ABLE application. You can also come in person and pick up the Certificate of Compliance document if you prefer. 

City Clerk's Office, City Hall, 201 W Gray, Norman, OK 73069.
