ORIGIN & FUNCTIONS


BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS

The Board of License Commissioners regulates the retail sale of alcoholic beverages in Baltimore City (Code Alcoholic Beverages Article, secs. 12-101 through 12-2802).

In Baltimore City, the Board's three members and one alternate formerly were appointed by the Governor to two-year terms. And, at that time, the Governor named the chair (Chapter 347, Acts of 2014; Code Alcoholic Beverages Article, secs. 12-101 through 12-210).

Responsibility for appointing the Board's members transferred in 2016 to the Mayor and the City Council President. Today, the Mayor appoints two members, and the City Council President appoints one member and one alternate. The Chair is chosen by the Board of License Commissioners (Chapter 26, Acts of 2016).

In August 2018, the Board of License Commissioners moved from 231 East Baltimore Street, Baltimore, to One North Charles Street, Baltimore, and in February 2024 moved to its present site at 200 St. Paul Place, Baltimore.
