About each permit
TABC County Local Alcohol-Permit Surcharge
A restaurant, coffee shop, or retail store holding a TABC beer, wine, or liquor permit for a Travis County location owes this local fee to the Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector, countywide, including inside the City of Austin — it is a state-statute county surcharge on a state permit, not a county ordinance limited to the unincorporated area, so it applies the same way as the DBA filing below regardless of which city or unincorporated area the business sits in. The fee is capped at one-half of the Alcoholic Beverage Code's own fee schedule as it stood on August 31, 2021. The Travis County Tax Office's website is in the middle of a domain migration and its Beer/Wine/Liquor Licenses fee-table page is not currently reachable; the six figures above are the office's own two-year fee table as published. Call the Tax Office directly to reconfirm the current figures before an application, and expect this record's application link to change once the migration completes.
