Overview of Application Process
When you apply for a new retailer license or renew your existing license, it will be for a two year license term and it must be renewed biannually. You will have the option to either:
- pay the license fee and the registration fee in full or
- pay half of the license fee plus the registration fee with your application and pay the remaining half of the license fee plus a 10 percent surcharge within one year from the date your license was issued. Note: If you do not pay your remaining license fee and the 10 percent surcharge when it is due, your license will automatically be cancelled.
Notice to All Distributors:
Due to current industry practices involving the transfer of short-dated product, the memorandum on that subject issued by Director Robert Engler in 1992 has been rescinded by the Alcoholic Beverage Control, effective Aug. 31, 2010.
