Alcohol License

Any individual, partnership, corporation or entity which engages in the sale of alcohol with the objective of gain, profit, benefit, or advantage in the incorporated area of Cartersville must obtain a City of Cartersville Alcoholic Beverage License for each of its locations in the city limits of Cartersville prior to engaging in these activities.

A City of Cartersville Business License pertains to business activity only in incorporated Cartersville, not outside of the city limits. Mailing addresses are not always indicative of the jurisdiction where licenses should be obtained. Contact the specific city or the City of Cartersville Planning and Development Department at (770) 387-5600 for assistance in determining the jurisdiction where the license should be obtained.

An application must also be filed with the Georgia Department of Revenue Alcohol Unit to obtain a State Alcoholic Beverage License. A state license cannot be processed until the city alcohol license has been obtained.
