Liquor licensing fees

Many transactions related to your liquor licence or permit require the payment of a fee. All liquor-related transactions with the AGCO, including fee payments, must be completed using the iAGCO web-based portal.

All payments in iAGCO must be made by Visa, MasterCard, Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit. Please note that cheques and cash are not accepted as forms of payment when using iAGCO online services.

Fee payments must be received by the AGCO before a licence or permit can be processed. If an application is withdrawn, or if the AGCO refuses to issue the licence or permit for any reason, the fee is non-refundable.
