Alcohol Beverage License Renewal Process Gets Paperwork Reduction

Alcohol beverage license renewals should be easier beginning this year, thanks to changes from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) Division of Alcohol Beverages. These changes were advocated for by the WRA, other industry groups and local clerks.

Each year when operators renew their alcohol beverage licenses, they were required to fill out three forms: AB-100, AB-101, and AB-200. Since the information on AB-100 and AB-101 rarely changes, operators will no longer need to submit these two forms annually unless there are updates to report to the licensing municipality.

This should provide a more streamlined process for both licensees and local clerks, reducing the administrative burden for both.
