There are 25 types of ABC licenses. For two (2) of them, the law allows for no County license fee.
For ten (10) of them, the county license fee is at the legal maximum of one-half of the state license fee. There is no maximum County license fee set by law for the remaining 13 licenses. For several years prior to FY2005-2006, the Commission had set the county license fee for these 13 licenses equal to the state license fee. For the levy made for the year for FY2005-2006, the Commission increased the County license fees by about 25.0%. Last year the County Commission did not increase any license fees.
