 Liquor Licenses Division - Jeanette Morris, Supervisor Minimize
 

Welcome to the Department of Excise and Licenses Liquor Licensing Web page.  The Liquor Licensing Division is responsible for accepting, processing, and issuing or denying all liquor licenses in the City of Denver. This includes new applications, applications for changes in ownership, applications for modifications, and all other changes and documents required to be filed with the local liquor licensing authority.

It is also responsible for enforcing the city's municipal codes and the state's liquor laws regarding liquor licensing and conduct of licensed establishments. This division also processes and issues or denies cabaret licenses for the city. The Division schedules and conducts public hearings on all new applications, on applications for changes in ownership as appropriate, and on modifications as appropriate.

The Liquor Licensing Division issues show cause orders for violations of City or State laws. The Division schedules and holds hearings on alleged violations and takes appropriate disciplinary action. The Division employs attorneys as Hearings Officers to conduct these hearings; however, the Director issues the final decisions.

 The Democratic National Convention Minimize

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Denver from August 25 – 28, 2008.  Given the international significance and the large-scale nature of this event, permits and licenses that involve fixed-space requirements in the downtown area from August 15 – 31, 2008, must go through a special process.  Peddlers, merchant guards and taxi drivers do not involve fixed spaces, and thus need not go through that special process.  If your permit or license needs a fixed space, click here (Denver 2008 Convention Information Site).
