About each permit
Alcohol License Local Approval, Unincorporated Madison County
This local-approval role reaches unincorporated Madison County only. Inside any incorporated city in the county — Huntsville, Madison, New Hope, Gurley, Owens Cross Roads or Triana — that city's own governing body plays the equivalent local-approval role instead, and each city separately taxes alcohol sales through its own privilege-license schedule tied to State ABC Board license-type codes. The Alabama ABC Board's own wet-cities determination lists Madison County simply as 'Wet' with no city-level carve-outs, confirming that unincorporated Madison County and every municipality within it — including Huntsville, Madison, New Hope, Gurley, Owens Cross Roads and Triana — sit within wet territory. The primary state licensor for all alcohol sales, in every part of the county, is the Alabama ABC Board.
