LIQUOR AND BEER LICENSES 

Any business selling alcoholic beverages in the City and County of Broomfield must obtain a State liquor or beer license, a City and County liquor or beer license, and must comply with the Colorado Revised Statutes, the Broomfield Municipal Code, and the Local Licensing Authority Rules of Procedure.

Colorado is a dual jurisdiction state, meaning that all application documents and required fees must be submitted to both the City and County of Broomfield and the Colorado Department of Revenue. Once a new application has been approved locally, it will be sent to the State for approval, unless the applicant marks the application for Concurrent Review and pays the associated fee ($100) to the State before it is submitted to the City and County of Broomfield. Renewal applications can be submitted locally and to the state at the same time. For more information, see the section on Renewals.

If you have any further questions, please contact cityclerk@broomfield.org or dor_led@state.co.us.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to review the Colorado Department of Revenue: Liquor Enforcement Laws, Rules, Regulations to ensure understanding of the requirements and regulations of alcohol licenses.

If you have rented or plan to rent a park shelter for a private event and wish to serve alcohol, please visit the Facility Reservation page, where you will also be prompted to submit an Alcoholic Beverage Consumption Permit application.

NEW APPLICATIONS

An entity must complete a new application in the licensing portal to acquire a new liquor or beer license at an unlicensed location. 

An application for new liquor or beer licenses takes approximately 4 - 6 months to process, therefore it is recommended that applications are filed promptly to avoid any delays. 

Complete all items on the checklist before you begin your application submission in the licensing portal. The portal will not allow you to complete your application submission if required documents are missing. However, you can always save your work in the portal and return later to finish. If you have any questions contact the Clerk’s Office by emailing cityclerk@broomfield.org or calling 303-438-6332.

Once the application is deemed complete by the Clerk’s Office, the application will go before the Local Licensing Authority for approval.
