Obtaining a Broomfield liquor license is a critical step for any business that intends to sell or serve alcohol in Broomfield, Colorado.
Proper planning and attention to detail will be the difference between obtaining your license in time for your grand opening and many months of delay and additional paperwork.
New Broomfield Liquor License
An application for a new Broomfield liquor license takes approximately three months to process. We strongly recommend that you submit your application four to five months ahead of your planned opening date. As a new Broomfield liquor licensee, you will be required to demonstrate that the “needs and desires” of the surrounding neighborhood will be met by the issuance of the liquor license. We will work with you to complete the needs and desires survey and present the results at a Public Hearing before the Broomfield Local Licensing Authority. Additionally, the moral character of the applicant(s) will be considered by both the Broomfield Local Licensing Authority and the Colorado State Liquor Enforcement Division.
Common Type of Broomfield Liquor Licenses:
