About each permit
Alcoholic Beverage License (Board of License Commissioners)
Baltimore County's Board of License Commissioners, three members appointed by the County Executive plus two substitute members, licenses on-premise alcohol sales, which mainly fit a restaurant under Class B or D, and off-premise sales, which fit a retail store or coffee shop seeking a wine or beer-and-wine Class A license. Title 13 of the Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article applies only to Baltimore County, by its own definition at §13-101(c). A wine-only Class A license at $100 is a distinct, separately priced class from the beer-and-wine Class A license at $250 — the statute keeps the two apart even though they are sometimes run together elsewhere. The $500 application/transfer fee comes from the Board's own current Rules and Regulations Handbook, Rule 18. The license year runs May 1 through the following April 30, the same cycle stated on the Board's own Applications & Resources page.
