Liquor Licenses

A liquor license is required for any person(s) to engage in the manufacture, sale or distribution of alcoholic beverages within the city limits. They are regulated by Parkville Municipal Code Chapter 600. Licenses shall be issued for the period of one year beginning June 1st and must be renewed annually.

The City does not require a license/permit for an individual server/bartender to serve alcohol in Parkville.

Required Documents for New Applications

  • Background check(s) through Missouri Highway Patrol (external link) for all new liquor license applicants
  • Photo of exterior of premises to be used for liquor sales
  • Certificate of Occupancy (or building permit only if currently undergoing construction or remodel)
  • License fee payment

Process

New liquor license applications require final approval by the Board of Aldermen, who meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays each month at 6 p.m. Following their approval, the City Clerk will prepare an approval letter for the State of Missouri and provide it to the applicant. The official Parkville liquor license will not be approved until the City receives current State of Missouri and Platte County liquor licenses.
