About each permit
County Liquor License
The County Clerk's Liquor License page states: "If you have applied for a State liquor license you must also apply for a County liquor license." Applicants apply to the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control first, then apply to the county through its online portal with a copy of the county Merchant's License and proof that county taxes are paid. Ordinance 26-0181, passed April 13, 2026, approved by the County Executive April 15, 2026 and effective on approval, adopts the State of Missouri liquor license fee schedule (Exhibit A) as the county fee. Under §2 the County Clerk adopts any new State fee schedule without a further ordinance, so the county fee follows the State schedule automatically. §3 adds a $3.00 handling fee for each license issued. Ordinance 10-0411 bars any county liquor license while the applicant or property owner owes delinquent county real or personal property taxes. A restaurant, coffee shop or retail store needs this license only if it holds a state liquor license.
