Retail Licensing

The ABCC has compiled this quick reference to assist local licensing authorities in processing applications and to answer questions you may have concerning the licensing procedure governing alcoholic beverage establishments in your city or town.

This guide is meant as a permanent addition to the local licensing authority's reference shelf. We hope it will prove valuable in resolving the issues that come before you. A careful reading of these instructions and following the procedures as outlined will lead to a complete application package and therefore faster license approval at the ABCC.

All this information and data are compiled and sent by the applicant through the town.
