Putnam County issues alcohol licenses in accordance with Chapter 6 of our Official Code of Ordinances.  

We're happy to announce that the Georgia Department of Revenue's new centralized alcohol applications process is open!

You can apply for a new alcohol license or renew your existing license by using the Georgia Department of Revenue's new centralized alcohol application process.  This new portal is designated for retail alcohol initial license registrations and renewals.  With this new system, all local and state retail alcohol applications will uniformly be submitted through the Georgia Tax Center (GTC). 

Applications for Breweries, Wineries, and Distilleries will not use this new system; applications would be processed separately at the state and local levels.

To Register a New Business for a Retail Alcohol License:

• Navigate to the GTC website at https://gtc.dor.ga.gov and click the Register a New Georgia Business hyperlink.

To Register an Existing Business for a Retail Alcohol License:

• Navigate to the GTC website at https://gtc.dor.ga.gov and log into your GTC account.
