The County Clerk is responsible for the issuance of county liquor licenses. If you have applied for a state liquor license YOU MUST also apply for a County liquor license. If the business is located in an incorporated area of the County, a license is required within those city limits, also.
To Obtain a County Liquor License (New Businesses)
- The applicant must first apply and obtain their state liquor license from the State of Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control. [1]
- Submit or bring a copy of the state license(s) to the County Clerks Office and the appropriate license fees. License fees for county liquor licenses correspond with the state license fees in addition to a $3.00 filing fee for each license obtained. The forms of payment accepted are cash and check.
- Of the license fee to be paid for any such license, the applicant shall pay as many 12ths as there are months (part of a month counted as a month) remaining from the date of the license to the next succeeding July 1
- The Clerks Office can not issue a license until you have applied and received your license from the state. However, you are required to obtain a County license as soon as you receive your state confirmation.
- The County Clerks Office will issue the liquor license immediately. If staff is unavailable to process the license, it will be mailed out within three business days.
- County liquor licenses expire annually on June 30th.
