Liquor Licensing

Licensing Application Process

If you are interested in applying for a liquor and beer license, you may apply through our new online portal. If you have questions regarding the process, our staff is happy to do a high level overview of the application with you or you may make an appointment for review of your application by calling the office at 719-553-2669. 

After your application is accepted, the Liquor Authority will determine the distance requirements for petitions and set the date for Public Hearing. This date will run in the newspaper and be posted outside your premises to allow for any interested parties to attend.

Once the petitions have been preliminarily approved, you may print them off from the Pueblo PLACE portal. The petitions will contain a map of the neighborhood of the proposed liquor premise and a list of the neighborhood residents and business owners/managers, from which you will need to gather signatures and favor/oppose/neutral opinions.

When you have completed your petitions, you will turn them into the Clerk’s Office for verification. You will then need to attend the Liquor Authority meeting and respond to questions and comments from the Authority. If the Authority approves, your application will be sent to the State for review and approval.
