Santa Barbara City Liquor License Facts
When buying or selling a Santa Barbara liquor license, be aware that the process can take up to 4 months. We really cannot stress enough how important of a factor that time is in the liquor licensing process. The ABC will send a notice to your listed location that you are going to sell liquor in the area. Those in the area will have 30 days to submit a complaint about your intention of serving alcohol. On the off chance that there are no objections to your application by the general population, the ABC will then examine your application.
Some counties in California are oversaturated with licenses and Santa Barbara County is no exception to this. Therefore, in some cases, your Santa Barbara liquor license may not come from the ABC at all. You may have to purchase your license on the open market due to the competitive nature of obtaining licensing in high-volume markets. This option is a more expensive route to follow; however, it may be your only choice, given the market you intend to operate in. It is also important to remember that your city may require a separate application to serve alcohol, so make certain to check with the local government body or seek advice from a consultant.
