Alcoholic Beverage License

This application is for a business seeking to get Local Consent from Draper City to complete licensure with the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS). All business with DABS licensure operating in Draper - either permanently or temporarily - are required to maintain a valid, unexpired city alcohol license.

Application Process

1. Submit the Alcoholic Beverage License application to the Business License Official. Once processed, the applicant will receive an email requesting missing documentation (if any).

2. When all documentation is received, your application will receive a hearing before the City Council which will decide to either approve or deny granting Local Consent (this is needed in order to obtain licensure from DABS). The Business License Official will let you know the date of the City Council meeting.

3. Upon approval, a Local Consent Letter will be provided to the applicant via email to present to the DABS. An invoice will also be sent via email to pay for the license.

4. Once payment is made and the applicant presents licensure from the DABS to Draper City, the Alcoholic Beverage License is issued.
