Alcohol Licenses

To sell alcoholic beverages in the unincorporated part of Jackson County you will need to obtain an Alcohol License.  In order to do so, you must: 

1. Register for an account to fill out the Alcohol License application online at Jackson County’s Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. Please remember that your username is not your email address.  Also, CSS has shown to function better in Google Chrome. 
2. Refer to the checklist(s) below to assist with the application process that you are needing to go through. 
3. Complete the SAVE Affidavit for eligibility to obtain an Alcohol License. 
4. Complete the E-verify Affidavit for either exempt or non-exempt employers required by the State of Georgia.
   • The two affidavits will need to be notarized, scanned and uploaded to the online application.
