Operator Licenses
This ordinance states that an operator's (bartender's) license fee is set at $20 per year, with the license period being from July 1 to June 30 annually. Applications for an operator's license can be submitted at the Town of Florence Office during regular office hours. However, it should be noted that all new and first-time Operator License applications are subject to approval by the Town of Florence Board.
To be eligible for an operator's license in Wisconsin, individuals must be at least 18 years of age, meet criminal record requirements, and have completed a responsible beverage server training course, submitting a copy of the certification of completion with their application. However, this last requirement may be waived if it is a renewal application or if the individual held a non-expired Wisconsin alcohol beverage license, including an operator's license, within the past two years. This allows for experienced and responsible individuals to have their license renewed without having to retake the training course.
For information on how to attend a responsible beverage server training course, you can visit the Wisconsin Department of Revenue online at: https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Training/alcSellerServer.aspx To download and view the complete ordinance, click on the file below.

Prohibiting Issuance of Alcohol Beverage Licenses for Nonpayment of Taxes, Assessments and Claims
The Town has enacted an ordinance that prohibits the issuance of alcohol beverage licenses for any premises with delinquent and unpaid taxes, assessments, or other claims. This measure ensures that businesses operating within the Town are responsible and in good standing with their financial obligations. Therefore, it is necessary for all businesses to comply with this regulation in order to obtain or renew their alcohol beverage license.

Continuing Business License Ordinance
This ordinance requires all Class A and B Liquor License holders to conduct and maintain their businesses. Any party found to have received or retained a license without actively engaging in or intending to resume business operations, as outlined in this ordinance, will be subject to legal consequences. Such actions are considered to be against the public's best interest and are deemed to be without any practical usefulness. This ordinance serves to protect the community and promote fair and ethical business practices within the town.
