Understanding the Florida License Categories

Alcohol licenses are managed by the state Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The license type depends on whether you sell packaged beer, wine, and/or spirits for off-premise use or provide beer, wine, or a full bar for on-premise consumption. We can help you identify the right Florida Alcoholic Beverage License for your business.

Starting Your Liquor License Application

The placement and usage of a Liquor license at a location must be initially approved at the municipal level. So, in this case, it will be Port St. Lucie County (Sebastian/Vero Beach)

Next, complete the state liquor license application. This process can often be initiated online and requires extensive supporting documentation, including:

Health Department approval for alcohol consumption on the business premises
Approval by the Florida Dept. of Revenue
Personal information & fingerprints for all interested parties
Right of Occupancy (copy of lease or deed) Management contracts
Floor plan sketch
Municipal zoning approval for the type of alcoholic beverage license being sought

Reviewing Fees and Quotas

Fees vary by the specific type of license you need, ranging from $140 for off-premise beer sales to $1,820 for a fully-stocked bar with onsite consumption. There is a limited supply of Quota Liquor licenses based upon the population in the county. However, locations that prepare and serve food can apply for a separate food service license which is not covered under this quota system and is available in an infinite number for qualifying businesses. We can help you apply for either a quota or non-quota license, including the required zoning approval for Port St. Lucie County.

Awaiting Approval

The office in your district will review your application once they have received all the required documentation along with your fee. They may also schedule an onsite inspection to make sure your establishment complies with state beverage laws.
