Apply for a County Liquor License
If you are a business that has more than one license, you are required to fill out an application for each type of license. The County will issue and charge what the State of Missouri does for licenses plus an additional $3.00 clerical fee. The only exception is the County combines a “Monday through Saturday” and a “Sunday” license together, where the State has a “Sunday” license separate.
Contact the Clerk's Office to request a copy of the fee schedule and an application for a liquor license.
When filling out an application for county liquor license, please make every effort to fill it out completely. Including a phone number and/or email address where we can contact you during regular business hours. (8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday though Friday)
Then mail it to:
Timothy Baker
Franklin County Clerk
400 E. Locust, Room 201
Union, MO 63084
The application must be signed by the managing officer which is the same name as the “State Applicant”. Which is the person whose name is on the state license.
The total amount due must be included with the application. Checks are to be made payable to Timothy Baker, Franklin County Clerk.
If you have already applied with the State of Missouri and have received your state certificate, please send us a copy so we can process your application more quickly. However, you can still complete the County license and we will hold it until we hear from the State.
If this is a renewal, your County Liquor Licenses must be received in the County Clerk’s Office on or before June 30th every year. If the application is received after June 30th, there will be a $25 late fee each month the application is late.
