|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol License — Local Governing Body Approval (unincorporated Mobile County)only if it applies to you | Mobile County Commission | No fee is published for this approval step. Alabama's statewide ABC Board licensing procedure requires the applicant to obtain approval from the 'local governing body' before the ABC Board issues an alcohol license. For a business inside a municipality's corporate limits or police jurisdiction, that governing body is the municipality (for example, the Mobile City Council, via a separate $50 filing fee and a Council vote, out of scope for this county file). For a business in unincorporated Mobile County, outside every municipality's corporate limits and police jurisdiction, that governing body is the Mobile County Commission. The Commission's own site does not publish a dollar fee or a written step-by-step procedure for this approval; Commission meeting agendas show alcohol-license items voted on at regular meetings, consistent with the Commission serving this role. | not applicable — this is an approval step required before state ABC Board licensure, not a license with its own term | 2026-09-28 |
Fees shown as a range or formula are set that way by the issuing agency — we do not average them into a single number.
About each permit
Alcohol License — Local Governing Body Approval (unincorporated Mobile County)
Mobile County is classified 'Wet' by the Alabama ABC Board, so on-premise and off-premise alcohol sales are permitted countywide, and a restaurant or retail store applies to the state ABC Board for the underlying license. Alabama's statewide ABC licensing procedure requires local-governing-body approval before the ABC Board will issue a license: for a business inside a municipality's corporate limits or police jurisdiction, that governing body is the municipality — for a City of Mobile location, the Mobile City Council, via its own $50 filing fee and Council vote, a city-level process recorded separately in scripts/cities/mobile.mjs, not in this county file. For a business in unincorporated Mobile County, outside every municipality's corporate limits and police jurisdiction, the local governing body whose approval the ABC Board requires is the Mobile County Commission. The Commission's own website does not publish a fee schedule or a written step-by-step procedure for this approval step; Mobile County Commission meeting agendas do show ABC-Board-requested alcohol-license items voted on at regular Commission meetings, consistent with the Commission acting as this approval body, but no dollar fee or standing written procedure is published online. An applicant located in unincorporated Mobile County should contact the Mobile County Commission office directly, alongside the state ABC Board application itself, to learn the current procedure and any associated cost.
