Counties and cities may charge for licenses
On top of state fees, people who hold a liquor permit or license also have to pay fees to the county and city where their business is located. The county can charge up to the same amount as the state fee. The city can charge up to one and a half times the state fee. Cities can also make their own rules about selling liquor and set penalties for breaking those rules. Anyone with a license must keep their city or county license posted in a visible spot at their business, and within 10 days of getting that local license, they must send a copy to the state alcohol and tobacco control office.
