Liquor Licenses

Liquor and Beer Licensing in Colorado is a dual-jurisdictional process with both the Colorado Department of Revenue and the City of Fruita licensing required.  Liquor and Beer License Application Packets are available from the City Clerk's Office.  Completed applications, along with the applicable fees, must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office only.  The City Clerk will forward the application to the Colorado Department of Revenue once all the required information has been submitted and approved by the City Council.  A liquor license and occupation tax is required for anyone in the business of selling alcoholic beverages. Please contact the City Clerk's Office for additional information and to schedule an appointment to obtain a Liquor License Application packet. The governing laws and rules for the issuance of liquor licenses can be obtained from the Colorado Department of Revenue - Liquor Enforcement Division.  The City of Fruita's regulations concerning the issuance of liquor license can be found in Chapter 5.20 of the Fruita Municipal Code.  These regulations are in addition to any land use regulations concerning the sale of alcoholic beverages.
