Alcohol Beverage Licensing

Applications for retail alcohol licenses are managed through the Georgia Tax Center online portal. For questions regarding GA Department of Revenue (DOR) requirements, call (877) 423-6711 or to access the DOR website for the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Click Here.

Renewals are no longer managed through the GTC website. Renewal notices are sent out via email late October of each year. If you have not received a renewal notice by Nov. 1, please view our department contacts to email a Revenue Specialist. All alcohol renewals must be submitted through the Citizenserve portal or by clicking on the link in the renewal notice.      

NOTE: Alcohol renewal applications will not be accepted after the December 31st deadline. Failure to renew by the deadline will result in the requirement for a new application to be submitted. Failure to file and pay excise taxes including penalties, interest, and other fees will result in your application being rejected and license not being issue until paid.

It is strictly prohibited to sell alcohol without both a valid local and state license. Failure to comply will result in immediate enforcement actions by local and state agencies.
