WHAT IS THE CITY'S ROLE IN LIQUOR LICENSING?

In the State of Colorado, obtaining a liquor license is a dual process beginning at the local level. A dual process requires review and approval from the Local Licensing Authority first prior to review by the State Liquor Enforcement Division. Obtaining a liquor license is a privilege not a right. The Local Licensing Authority conducts hearings and makes findings on whether to grant or deny a liquor license. Licenses are granted based upon demonstration that the surrounding neighborhood needs and desires the issuance of the license. Applicants unfamiliar with the lengthy and detailed application process may wish to consult an attorney.

The City of Longmont Local Licensing Authority is Municipal Judge Diana VanDeHey. The Deputy City Clerk serves as the official secretary to the Local Licensing Authority and receives and processes all liquor license applications.

The Local Licensing Authority meets once a month on the third Friday of every month starting at 10:00 a.m. at the Safety and Justice Center in Courtroom A, located at 225 Kimbark Street, Longmont, Colorado.

Directions to the Safety and Justice Center.

WHERE DO I GET FINGERPRINTED FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS?

Longmont Safety & Justice Center, 225 Kimbark Street,

Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Liquor applicants must take a picture ID, show proof of liquor licensing application, and indicate to the person taking their fingerprints that they are being fingerprinted in conjunction with a liquor license application.
