1. The Liquor License Application and related forms are obtained from
the Village Manager's Office. If applying for a Liquor License, the attached
Police Department instructions explain the fingerprinting procedures.
2. After filling out the application, which has been notarized, it is
returned to the Village Manager's Office with the following:
A. A check for $250.00 non‑refundable application fee.
B. A check for the annual ‑fee for the particular Classification requested.
3. A meeting with the Village Manager will be scheduled to include the
appropriate persons requesting the License. If everything is in order, the
Village Manager will arrange to have ‑the Liquor License request put on the next
available Board of 'Trustees' Agenda for review. If the Application meets with
the approval of the Mayor and Board of Trustees, an Ordinance will be prepared
for first reading at the next Village Board meeting (Village Board meetings are
scheduled on the first and third Tuesdays of each month) and final reading and
passage of the Ordinance will take place at the next Board meeting. The
applicant should plan to attend these meetings should any Village Board member
have ‑questions about the application.
4. When the Ordinance is passed increasing the number of Licenses, the actual
License is not presented to the Liquor Control Commission for signature until
the business is ready to open its doors for business and an original copy of
Dram Shop Insurance and a Surety Bond in the amount of $2,500 are submitted to
the Village Manager's Office. No License will be issued until these insurance
and bond requirements are met as well as proof of purchase of a Village of Mount
Prospect Business License.
5. After the Liquor License has been signed, the applicant will be notified
to pick up the License from the Village Manager's Office. (When applicable,
before the Liquor‑License is issued, no business can sell liquor in any form
‑unless a Business License has been acquired from the Finance Department. Before
the Finance Department issues a Business License, a form is distributed to the
Planning Division to assign proper Zoning and use and to the Building Division
to assure that Permits have been received for any and all remodeling and that
everything meets Code.)
