- Appear before the Board of County Commissioners at your scheduled hearing prepared to answer any questions concerning your application. If the Board approves your application, it is forwarded to the state for approval and issuance of a liquor license.
Transfer of Ownership
The purchaser of an establishment that already has a liquor license must apply to the county for a transfer of ownership of the license. Steps 1-3 as listed above will need to be followed. The posting and hearing steps are not required with a Transfer of Ownership.
Fees
Both the county and the state collect liquor license fees, so two separate checks will be required; one payable to Rio Blanco County and the other to Colorado Department of Revenue.
