ALCOHOL LICENSE RENEWAL
Applications for renewing an alcohol license will be mailed out to licensees in mid-October with a strict deadline in order to be heard by the Alcohol Board. The Renewal process will require a Renewal application, an annual background check, and the renewal fee for the type of license held. All Renewal applications are approved by the Union County Alcohol Board. Failure to receive renewal approval prior to December 31 each year will require a licensee to begin the Alcohol Licensing process under a new initial application and approval.
