View Official 2026 DBPR Notice How the Florida quota drawing works
The drawing determines who gets the first opportunity to apply
Florida creates additional quota licenses as county population increases. When licenses are available, DBPR opens an annual entry period and conducts a drawing to establish the order in which applications for those licenses will be considered.
Choose an Individual or Business entry, provide the entrant’s contact information, and disclose all interested persons.
The 2026 entry fee is $100 per entry and is non-refundable. Online entries may be paid by credit card; mailed entries use check or money order.
A selected entrant earns the right to apply for the available quota license. Selection does not itself issue the liquor license.
