| Alcohol License Local Approval, Unincorporated Lee Countyonly if it applies to you | Lee County Commission | Every Alabama business seeking an ABC Board retail, wholesale or on-premises alcohol license needs an approval step from the local governing body with jurisdiction over the premises before the state issues the license — inside an incorporated city, that is the city's own governing body, and in the unincorporated area of a wet county, it is the county commission. Lee County's own codified local act on alcoholic beverages, Ala. Code §45-41-20 and §45-41-20.01 (Title 45, Ch. 41, Art. 2), authorizes draft/keg beer sales countywide and Sunday alcohol sales, but sets out no distinct step-by-step application procedure, fee, or deadline for the Lee County Commission's own local-approval role in the unincorporated area, of the kind Opelika's and Auburn's own city governments each publish for applicants inside their respective city limits. Contact the Lee County Commission office directly for the current unincorporated-area approval procedure before applying to the ABC Board. | one-time local approval per application; the resulting state ABC license has its own separate renewal cycle, administered by the state, not the county | 2026-09-28 |

About each permit
Alcohol License Local Approval, Unincorporated Lee County
This local-approval role reaches unincorporated Lee County only. Lee County is 'Wet' countywide — entry #41 on the Alabama ABC Board's own Wet Cities list — and inside Opelika or Auburn, each city's own governing body plays the equivalent local-approval role instead, with its own detailed, city-published step-by-step ABC-application procedure; those two cities' procedures are municipal, not county, mechanisms, and neither describes how the Lee County Commission itself handles an unincorporated-area application. The Alabama ABC Board remains the primary state licensor in every part of the county regardless of which local body grants the underlying local approval.
