Liquor Control Division

Welcome to the Liquor Control Division

The Liquor Control Division safeguards the health and safety of Connecticut citizens by regulating all persons and firms involved in distributing, selling, and dispensing alcoholic liquor in order to prevent sales to minors and intoxicated persons, maintain product integrity, and ensure that licensed premises are safe and sanitary.

The Division enforces the Connecticut Liquor Control Act and its corresponding regulations, and is the primary investigative arm of the Connecticut Liquor Control Commission. We are also the main licensing body ensuring that all businesses engaging in the sale of alcoholic liquor hold the necessary permits.

All applications for new permits MUST be submitted online; paper applications will not be accepted.
