Licensing for the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages

The online application for an alcoholic beverage sales license can submitted though the City's online permitting portal: https://www.minotnd.gov/687/Apply-for-a-Permit

In addition to completing the online application, the following will be required to be uploaded with the application:

1. Business floor plan, including the location and extent of the licensed premises and the parking area for the business.
2. Copies of any purchase agreements or lease agreements and organization certificates of registration.
3. For Ownership transfers, notarized request from current owner(s).

Payment will be made online via credit card, debit card, or e-check.

The Police Department, Building Official, and Fire Inspector will review, as required by ordinance. Thereafter, the request will be provided to the City Council for final approval.

In order for the request to be considered in a timely manner, the complete package should be filed with the City Clerk's Office 45 days before the anticipated effective date. The City Clerk's Office will provide the exact dates and times of the meetings when the application is filed. You or a representative of your business should make plans to attend these meetings, if possible.
