After a renewal application is filed with the Town Clerk’s office, the file is reviewed, and any deficiencies are reported to the applicant prior to the consideration of the application by the Clerk’s Office. Your application is deemed “received” when the application is completed in full and ALL required documents including payments have been provided.
Generally, these applications are approved administratively by the Clerk’s Office if there have been no liquor violations over the previous 12 months. If the business had any violations, they may have to appear at the Liquor Hearing. Once the application is approved, the Town Clerk’s office will forward the application to the Colorado Department of Revenue, Liquor Licensing Division for review and approval. Typically, the State will process the application and mail the State’s liquor license to the Town Clerk’s Office within 3-4 weeks. The Town of Erie license is then prepared, and both licenses are issued to the applicant via email.
