You need to pay an application fee when applying for a new licence or renewing a licence.
If the application is granted, you will also need to pay an annual fee before the licence can be issued. The annual fee needs to be paid every year by the anniversary date of your licence.
After the first year, you will need to apply to renew your alcohol licence every three years.
These fees are set by the government and not by the council.
