SNELLVILLE — Residents will soon be able to buy liquor in Snellville after Mayor and Council adopted a measure making way for a package store to open in City Limits.
City officials will soon accept applications from entrepreneurs who want to sell distilled spirits. Up to two applications will be approved for two separate locations in the city, with this initial process allowing for one license.
Applications can be submitted until 4 p.m. June 5. A sealed License Application (Package Store) and $200 non-refundable application fee payable to the City of Snellville is required to apply.
Applications can be obtained online or picked up at the Department of Planning and Development on the second floor of City Hall, 2342 Oak Road, Snellville.
City officials suggest applicants become very familiar with the application guidelines before they apply.
All requirements must be fully met for an application to be successful.
A state license must be obtained before any alcoholic beverage can be served or sold in the City of Snellville. Contact the Alcohol & Tobacco Division of the Georgia Department of Revenue at 877-423-6711 or atdiv@dor.ga.gov
All successful applicants will become part of an independent lottery process and the winner’s license is valid for one year from Dec. 31.
