  Is it time to renew your liquor sales licence?  
  Renewing A Liquor Sales Licence  
 

PLEASE NOTE: As a result of recent changes in the regulations, a licensee no longer has 3 months after the date on which the licence expires to renew the liquor licence.

Application Form

A renewal reminder and application form will be mailed to the licensee by the AGCO, as a courtesy, 60 days prior to the expiration date of the licence. The licensee must return the completed renewal application, corporate structure form (if applicable) and personal history report(s), along with the appropriate alcohol licensing fees payable to the Minister of Finance, prior to the expiry date. If your licence has a golf or stadium endorsement, please include the appropriate fee. Incomplete applications and forms will be returned to the applicant.

Your liquor sales licence renewal application will not be processed if your establishment owes money to the Ministry of Finance (retail sales tax). It is your responsibility to contact the Ministry of Finance at 1-800-263-7965 to determine if you owe any money. If you do owe money, you must make arrangements to pay the outstanding amount.

Your liquor sales licence renewal application will not be processed if there has been a change of ownership at the establishment that has not been previously reported to the AGCO. If there has been a change of ownership at the establishment, you must submit a liquor sales licence transfer application to the AGCO.

Your liquor sales licence renewal application along with the appropiate alcohol licensing fees must be received by the AGCO by the expiry date on your liquor licence.

If your application and fee are received on or before the expiry date, you will receive a Renewal Confirmation Notice allowing you to operate until you receive your licence.

If your renewal application is not received by the expiry date on your liquor licence, your licence will expire and you can no longer sell or serve alcohol.

EXPIRED LIQUOR LICENCES CANNOT BE RENEWED.

You are prohibited, under section 5(1) of the Liquor Licence Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. L.19, from selling/serving alcohol without a valid liquor licence.

If your liquor sales licence has expired, you may apply to reinstate your licence. Call the AGCO Customer Service Department toll free at 1-800-522-2876 or in Toronto at 416-326-8700 for details.
