Local cities and counties require liquor license surveys as part of the application for a liquor license for restaurants, bars, nightclubs and liquor stores.

Most agencies have an extensive liquor license application. Each county or city has an established set of criteria that a store or restaurant must meet in order to get a liquor license, which is also called a Beverage License and Beer and Wine License.

  • Location of your facility showing access streets and highways
  • All churches within a specified distance
  • All schools within a specified distance
  • All schools within a specified distance and
  • Distances to other establishments that serve or sell alcohol

The liquor license survey is one part of the application package and is performed by a Professional Land Surveyor. The survey will show the location of the property and the building of the establishment that wishes to sell alcoholic beverages.

Requirements vary from city to city and State to State. All governing authorities require a survey by a Professional Land Surveyor when applying for a liquor license.

Why Require an Alcohol Survey?

The licensing authority uses liquor license surveys (Atlanta) to determine if the sale of alcoholic beverages at the applicant's proposed place of business would have a negative impact on the surrounding community. It also provides the applicant the information to understand why a certain location works or doesn't work.

The City/County want to maintain separation of liquor sales from churches and schools. The Alcohol Survey shows distances to the nearest church, school, residence, public park, libraries, etc. Each city/county have individual requirements. It is important to review the Code of Ordinance to find local requirements.

"Alcohol License Process

STEP ONE - Do you have the right location?

The first step to getting an alcohol license is making sure that you have a location that meets the distance measurement requirements. This is essential because they grant licenses per location and cannot be within specified distances from churches, schools, residences, etc. Do a little investigation before committing to a location.

  • Alcohol Certified Survey

A certified survey of the proposed premises depicting the distance requirements as specified on the alcoholic beverage application. The survey must also state how the property was measured (from what point of the premises to what point of the measured location and the direction of measurement)."
