License fees are based on a flat fee of $400 per professional or a calculation based on gross receipts or number of employees (choice elected on an annual basis). For the list of professional type businesses, see page 2 of the professional application. Professionals will need to complete an application for a Professional Business License. No alcohol may be sold or manufactured until the state license is obtained and the original city license is released.

The original alcoholic beverage licenses are held in the Business License Office until a state alcoholic beverage license is obtained by the business and a copy of the state license is brought to the Business License Office. Upon approval, a copy of the alcoholic beverage licenses may be obtained from the Business License Office.

All new Alcoholic Beverage License applications are reviewed by the City Manager on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Please contact Nicole Oddi, Permits & ID Technician with the Marietta Police Department, at 77, to schedule the background check.

Upon submission of the alcoholic beverage application, the applicant, owners and agent will undergo a background check by the Marietta Police Department.
