Florida Liquor License FAQ
Florida liquor license costs range from $140/year for a basic beer-only license (1APS) to $1,820/year for a full 4COP quota license that allows beer, wine, and spirits for both package sales and on-premises consumption. The market price to purchase a transferable quota license varies significantly by county — from under $50,000 in rural counties to over $500,000 in high-demand areas like Miami-Dade and Broward. See full cost breakdown.
A 4COP is a full beverage license that allows the sale of beer, wine, and spirits for both on-premises consumption and package sales. There are two types: the 4COP Quota license, which is limited in number by county population and must be purchased on the open market, and the 4COP SFS (Special Food Service), which requires a 2,500 sq ft service area, seating for 150, and 51% of revenue from food sales. Both carry a $1,820/year renewal fee. View all license types.

A 2COP beer and wine license costs $392/year and allows both package sales and on-premises consumption — ideal for bars, restaurants, and sandwich shops. A 2APS license for package sales only (convenience stores, gas stations) is $196/year. Unlike quota liquor licenses, there is no limit on the number of beer and wine licenses issued. See beer & wine license details.

Each year, the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco holds a quota license lottery. For 2026, the entry period opens August 18 and closes October 1 at 5:00 PM EST, with the drawing in Spring 2027. The entry fee is $100 per county applied for. Winners receive a new quota license but must pay a $10,750 activation fee and are subject to a 36-month transfer lock-in period. Learn more about the lottery.
Florida offers several license tiers: 1APS/1COP for beer only, 2APS/2COP for beer and wine, 3PS for full spirits package sales (liquor stores), and 4COP/4COP SFS for full spirits consumption and package sales (bars, restaurants, nightclubs). There are also specialty licenses like the 11C for bona fide clubs. View all license types and fees.
Any individual or business that sells beer, wine, or spirits in Florida must hold the appropriate beverage license. This includes bars, restaurants, nightclubs, liquor stores, convenience stores, gas stations, hotels, and even bowling alleys or theaters that serve alcohol. The license type depends on what beverages you sell and whether sales are for on-premises consumption, package/off-premises, or both. See who needs a license.
