Liquor Licensing Information

General Licensing Information

Liquor and/or Beer Licenses run from July 1st to June 30th.  

The City of Shawano will mail out reminder letters for license renewals in March of every year.  We no longer mail out hard copies of the renewal forms, however all forms can be obtained on our website or by stopping in to City Hall.  

Please remember to also go to the "Non-Liquor Licensing Information" page to find your other required applications (i.e. Amusement, Cigarette, etc.).

State Law requires that all applications for liquor and/or beer licenses must be submitted to the City Clerk's office at least fifteen (15) days before the Common Council may act upon the application.
