A Business License Renewal Notice will be sent to all continuing business license holders at the end of each calendar year. If a continuing business does not receive a Business License Renewal Notice by January 20th of the new year, the business owner or primary contact should contact the city to inquire about renewing their business license for the current calendar year. Any corrections or additions to the information on the renewal notice must be made on the form and returned to the city with the license renewal fee payment and any other documentation required.
Businesses that fail to respond to a renewal notice by January 31st shall be deemed to be operating without a license and subject to a penalty of 10 percent of the annual license fee. Failure to respond to a second notice, the Delinquent Business License Renewal Notice, by February 28th will result in an additional penalty of 10 percent of the balance owed and revocation of the license effective March 1st. If the business continues to do business within the city without a current year business license, they will be in violation of the City Code and subject to a fine, jail, or both. Each day a violation continues shall be a separate offense punishable as herein described. The business is liable for payment of all delinquent business license fees and related sales tax for all periods the business has operated within the city. Should the business pay the renewal fees after February 28th, the city will determine on a case-by-case basis whether to reinstate the business license or notify the business that they can not do business within the City of El Mirage.

The seven-member State Liquor Board is appointed by the governor. The liquor board usually does not get involved in the issuance of “uncontested” liquor licenses. However, the State Liquor Board will conduct a hearing on a license application if the El Mirage City Council objects to approval of the license.
Location: The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that if a transferable liquor license has already been issued for a business in which a person-to-person transfer is being sought (e.g., a new owner of an existing bar or liquor store), location issues are not grounds for denying the transfer. In other cases except for private club licenses), an applicant must show that the “public convenience requires and that the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the license.” Particular location restrictions include the following: With certain exceptions, no retailer’s license can be issued for any premises that are, at the time of application, within 300 feet of a church or of a public or private school building (grades K-12), or within 300 feet of a fenced recreational area adjacent to such school. The 300-foot restriction does not apply to temporary licenses, restaurant licenses, hotel/motel licenses, government licenses, fenced golf course areas, and grandfathered licenses.
If an application for a new location has been previously rejected by the Dept. of Liquor, no new application for the same location can be filed for at least one year after such rejection. This rule applies only if the State Liquor Board denies a license, not if an application is withdrawn by the applicant before a formal denial.
Type of Business: A liquor license cannot be issued if it would be “inappropriate” for the type of business. An inappropriate business is one that cannot clearly demonstrate that the sale of liquor is “directly connected to its primary purpose” and that such sale is not “merely incidental to its primary purpose.”
