Liquor License Application

---

Liquor Licenses:

"Liquor" means any wine, spirits, ale, porter, cider, perry, liqueurs, cordials, and other spirituous or fermented beverage of an intoxicating nature. The sale of any liquor requires that the seller be in possession of a valid liquor license.

The San Pedro Liquor Licensing Board is responsible for the distribution of all liquor licenses for San Pedro Town.

The procedures for obtaining a liquor license are as follows:

1. Obtain an application form (third schedule four (4) copies) from the San Pedro Town Council's Office.
2. Place an advertisement in any local newspaper at least 14 days before the meeting and attach the clipping of the ad with the completed application form. This copy should be sent to the San Pedro Town Council's Office, and other copies should be forwarded to Police Department, Health Department  and the Fire Department.
3. Applications are reviewed quarterly, January, April, July and October of each year. However; a special meeting may be convened at a cost of $100.00 if the customer wishes to commence selling immediately.
4. Applicants should be present at the meeting. After approval, a Liquor License is issued to the license holder. These documents should be displayed in their establishment in a conspicuous manner as failure to do so is an offense.
