LIQUOR AND ABC LICENSES
Liquor license public notice for your ABC application.
When your state or city asks you to announce an alcohol license application, we place the notice in a local newspaper that qualifies and send the proof the licensing agency expects.
How liquor license notices work
Rules change by state and county. These are common examples; we confirm the exact rule for your case with your quote.
What the notice is for
Applicants for an alcohol license often have to announce the application, so neighbors and authorities can object within a set period.
Who publishes it: Restaurants, bars, stores, breweries and caterers applying for a new license or a change.
Example
Virginia ABC: notice once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper where the business is located.
Where it runs
A local newspaper in the city or county of the premises.
Proof you receive
Tear sheets and affidavit for the licensing agency.
How it works
- Send us the business name, license type and premises address, or the form from the agency.
- We confirm the newspaper and schedule the agency accepts.
- The notice runs and we send the tear sheets and affidavit for your file.
Some states and cities only require a sign on the premises, others a newspaper notice, and some both.
