Licensing Process

- All applications are submitted to the local authority and must be approved before being forwarded onto the State Liquor Enforcement Division.
How Long Does It Take To Get A Liquor License?
Applying for and being issued a liquor license generally takes 3-4 months. (This is with a basic license)
Plan accordingly and communicate with the Licensing Department far in advance of your projected opening date.
Decision Guidelines
New licenses are approved when it is demonstrated that the surrounding neighborhood “needs and desires” for a new license and that the moral character of the applicant is acceptable to the local and state licensing authorities.
