Liquor License

Liquor and Beer Licenses are required by State Statutes Chapter 125. The licenses are issued annually from July 1 to June 30. Forms include the Original Retail License, Appointment of Agent, and Individual Questionnaire Forms. These forms are available from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue or by contacting the Clerk's Office, (262) 642-6255.

Approval Process: Once the complete applications have been received and reviewed they are forwarded to the Police Department for any investigative checks required. Then the required publications are written and submitted to the East Troy Times. Premises inspections are required by both the Building Inspector and the Police Department. The application is then placed on the Village Board agenda for review and approval. The Village Board meets on the first and third Monday of each month. For additional information on requirements and qualifications for obtaining a liquor license, please see Village of East Troy Alcohol License Checklist and Liquor License FAQs.
