Liquor Licensing
The City Clerk’s Office issues Liquor Licenses for establishments in Peoria’s City limits.
An application for a location that has never been approved for a Liquor License will first require Site Approval.
A City Liquor License is required before applying for a State of Illinois Liquor License.
Application Deadlines for Liquor Commission Meetings are 45 days prior to the scheduled meeting.
All applications for Liquor Licenses are available in the City Clerk’s Office, Room 401 at City Hall.
