Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a liquor license in Arizona?
Start by confirming the license class your business and location require, then file with the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control with the right documents and notices. Gerald Franklin Agency manages the whole process for you, from the first filing to final approval.
What is an Arizona series license?
Arizona defines each license by a series number, such as a Series 12 restaurant or a Series 6 bar. The series sets what you can serve and sell. We confirm the right one for your concept.
Is there a local approval step?
Yes. The city or county governing body issues a recommendation before the state decides. We prepare the application so it moves smoothly through both.
How long does the Arizona liquor license process take?
Timelines depend on the license type, local approvals, and any notice or objection period. We give you a realistic schedule for your situation and keep the application moving so it does not stall.
