Dear Applicant:

The Division of Liquor Control (“Division”) is eager to process your application. In order to process your application in a timely and efficient manner it will be necessary for you to file a complete package in accordance with the items listed on the “Application Required Documents” check off sheet. Please follow and complete this list as you gather the items necessary for your transaction. If your application is filed without all of the documents, the application will not be accepted and will be returned to you. It is our goal to provide you with the most efficient and courteous service while processing your application. Your assistance in providing us with a complete application will ensure prompt service. In order to minimize inquiries regarding the status of your application, the following is an outline of the process used in completing your application.

Once your application is received, provided all required documents are submitted, the following process begins:

1.The Division logs your application into a computerized system for processing.

2.The Division will send an Official Notice to the legislative authority of the municipality, city council, or township trustees and county commissioners of your application. Note: Any of these entities has the right to object to your application, provided that they do so within 30 days of that notification. The Division also sends a separate notice to the local law enforcement agency however they do not have a right to formally object to the issuance of your permit.

3.The Division works with the Ohio Bureau of Identification and Investigation (“BCI&I”) to have conducted a required background check on all persons involved in your business. In order for the Division and BCI&I to conduct this background check, you are required to provide the Division with the proper documentation/information so that a background check can be performed. Please see the enclosed Form DLC 4191 to determine whether you or persons involved in your business should submit a completed paper fingerprint card or be fingerprinted electronically via a “Web

Check” system.

4.The Division will send the Personal History Background Form(s) you provided to the law enforcement agency in the municipality or township of your permit premises in order to have a background check conducted with them.

5.A Division Compliance Officer will contact you to set up an appointment to conduct an initial physical inspection of your premises. At the time your inspection is completed our compliance officer will survey the area surrounding the proposed permit premises to determine if there are any institutions such as schools, churches, libraries, public playgrounds, or township parks within 500 feet. By law, any of these institutions within 500 feet of your premises can object to the issuance of your permit within 30 days of notification. If the business is not in operation or the premises did not meet all requirements at the initial inspection, a final inspection will need to be conducted at a later date. Please allow two weeks when notifying the Division for a final inspection.

6.The Division will work with your County Board of Elections to determine the wet/dry status of your proposed permit premises. Note: This information is not needed on applications for transfer of ownership.

7.Where required, the Food Service Operation or Food Establishment License must be in the exact name as the liquor permit applicant.

It is our goal to process your application in a timely and efficient manner. Many factors determine the

length of time it takes to complete the processing of your application. Your assistance in providing us with a completed application and necessary documents will help in accomplishing our goal.
