Download Licenses and Applications

In order to process your application quickly and completely, please be aware of the following procedures:  

  • Applicant must submit a complete application, with all required documents and associated fees;
  • Your application will be processed internally according to City ordinances and state laws.  For example, all bartenders' license applications are sent to the Police Department and City Manager for approval.
  • All applications will be checked for any outstanding fines/fees/charges due to the City of Beloit through the City Treasury and Municipal Court. If any outstanding fines/fees/charges are due to the City, the applicant will be notified by the Clerk's Office to arrange for payment.  
  • Once internal processing is complete and all fines, fees, and charges are paid, the license is issued.
  • All annual license applications must be processed before the posted due date.  Failure to do so will result in a late fee, with a minimum charge of $5.00.

If you have any questions, please contact the City Clerk at 608- 364-6680.
