HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) returned $9,350.00 to Clarion County municipalities for its semi-annual distribution of licensing fees.

The PLCB returned more than $2.4 million in licensing fees to 1,411 municipalities in Pennsylvania in which licensees are located.

Twice a year, as required by law, the PLCB returns liquor license fees paid by PLCB-approved licensees to the municipalities that are home to those licenses. Municipalities have flexibility in allocating and spending the returned license fees to meet local needs.

The PLCB oversees the regulation of more than 15,000 retail liquor licenses statewide, including restaurants, clubs, and hotels.

Licensees pay liquor license fees ranging from $125.00 to $700.00, depending on the type of license and the population of the municipality in which the license is located, as part of the annual license renewal or validation process, as well as in conjunction with approval of certain new applications.

The current dispersal period represents fees paid from Feb. 1, 2018, to July 31, 2018. In all, 57 cities, 566 boroughs, and 788 townships will receive payments ranging from $25 to $403,675.
