Introduction
This Information Brochure is provided to give
new licensees a brief summary of information to
supplement the process pertaining to various
applications. If you need to apply for a change in
the status of your license, please contact the City
Clerk’s office first for the appropriate packet.
The City Clerk’s office can only accept complete
application packets, which include the
appropriate fees for both the City of Thornton and
Colorado Department of Revenue.
When are Local Licensing Authority Meetings
The Local Licensing Authority generally meets on
the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers on the first floor of the
City Hall. The applicant must appear before the
Authority for all applications unless they have
been approved administratively.
Filing Renewals
Approximately 90 days prior to the expiration
date, you will receive a renewal application from
the state. The one page application form (DR
8400) needs to be filed with the Thornton City
Clerk's office. The deadline for filing renewals is
45 days prior to the expiration date. The City
Clerk’s Office sends a reminder letter to
licensees of active licenses as a courtesy before
the renewal is due. Please complete the first
page of the reminder letter to reflect any changes
that have occurred and submit it with your
renewal. To avoid any processing delay, it is
recommended that the renewal be filed prior to
the 45-day deadline.
Transfer of Ownership Application
If there will be a transfer of possession or
ownership of the licensed premises by the
purchase, transfer or sale of the premises or by
operation of law, the applicant must file
application forms provided by the City Clerk.
A background investigation will be conducted,
which takes approximately 45 days to complete.
If requested by the applicant, a temporary permit
may be issued when a complete transfer of
ownership application is accepted to allow the
applicant to operate the establishment until the
Authority considers the application.
Change of Corporate/LLC Structure
If you have a change in officers, directors or
stockholders within your Corporation, or a
change of members within your Limited Liability
Company (LLC), you will need to complete a
Report of Changes Form along with other
documents as required by the State and City of
Thornton. These changes need to be reported to
the Local Licensing Authority within 30 days after
they occur.
Manager’s Registration
Hotel and Restaurant, Tavern, Beer and Wine,
Club, Arts and Racetrack establishments are
required to register a separate and distinct
manager, if this individual is not currently listed
on the license as a corporate officer or member
of a LLC. If there has been a change in
management, a new registered manager needs
to be designated within 30 days.
Modification of the Premises
If you want to make a physical change, alteration
or modification that materially or substantially
alters the licensed premises, contact the City
Clerk’s office for an application, which can only be
processed after plans have been approved by the
Building Inspection Division.
In instances where an expansion involves the
outside of the establishment, such as the addition
of a patio, it may be necessary to receive approval
for a Development Permit through the City
Development Department. If a permit is required, it
must be obtained before the Local Licensing
Authority considers the application for Modification
of the Premises.

(Authority/Forms - Packet & Meeting/City Liquor Forms/Liquor & Beer Licensing Information Brochure July 2016)
Change of Location
To change the location of a license, you must
submit an application to the City Clerk first. All
applications are subject to the same procedures
and requirements as for the issuance of a new
license, except that the background investigation
regarding the applicant is not required.
Change of Trade Name or Corporate Name
To change the corporate name or trade name of
an establishment or business to which the
license is issued, the required forms need to be
submitted to the City Clerk’s office at least ten
days prior to the change.
Training Opportunities
As you are aware, it is the responsibility of the
licensee to provide training for personnel involved
in the sale and service of liquor and beer. There
are various organizations that offer formal training
that covers pertinent topics such as acceptable
identification and how to identify behavior of a
customer who may be intoxicated.
A complete list of trainers that comply with State
standards is on the State’s website:
https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/enforcement/ap
proved-responsible-vendors-training.
Some organizations that offer training include:
Training for Intervention Procedures by
Servers – TIPS – Phone: 1-800-GET-TIPS (1-
800-438-8477)
Colorado Restaurant Association (ServSafe
Alcohol), Phone: 303-830-2972.
Please contact the individual organization for more
information concerning the cost and how to
schedule a class.
In addition, the Thornton Police Department has
produced a training video which may be picked
up from the City Clerk’s office on the second floor
of City Hall. For questions contact the Thornton
Police Department Detective Division at 720-977-
5030 to speak to the Detective in charge of
Liquor Enforcement.
Amusement Device Licenses
The City of Thornton requires businesses,
including liquor/beer-licensed establishments that
have five or more amusement devices to obtain
an amusement device license. The annual fees
are $35 per machine and the term of the license
coincides with the liquor license.
Amusement Device is defined as being any
machine or device that is played for a fee which
is directly or indirectly charged, or operated with
a coin, token, slug, ticket or otherwise, and
includes the payment of a general admission
charge in order to play such devices.
An amusement device is considered to be played
for entertainment of the player or to test a skill,
such as video games, darts, pool, etc.
Amusement devices do not include such things
as bowling lanes, vending machines, juke boxes
or rides for small children. To receive an
application for an amusement device license call
303-538-7230.
Compliance Checks
The Thornton Police Department periodically
conducts law compliance checks, which is a
controlled buy, at all liquor establishments to
ensure compliance with Colorado Liquor Code
Laws and Regulations. Compliance checks are
conducted due to a concern by the City and its
Police Department about the possibility of
alcoholic beverages reaching the hands of
juveniles in the community. Compliance checks
are also an effort to identify and target juveniles
purchasing alcohol and individuals who purchase
it for juveniles. When identified, those juveniles
will be issued a summons or arrested when
appropriate.
A summons may also be issued to a server for a
liquor code violation. However, the State Liquor
Code gives the licensee of a liquor establishment
the responsibility for employees selling to
juveniles or for other violations of the Liquor
Laws or Regulations that occur on the licensed
premises. If violations are proven to have
occurred, sanctions will probably be imposed
against the Liquor License when appropriate and

Welcome to the Thornton business community!
Enclosed is the paperwork necessary to obtain a Sales and Use Tax Business License and apply for
a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) with the City of Thornton. Every business operating within the City
must obtain a CO and a Sales and Use Tax Business License regardless of the nature of the
business. The license is free and the application consists of four parts:
1. Application for Sales and Use Tax Business License – This form provides general
information regarding your business. Please be certain to complete every line on the
application and allow 2 – 3 weeks for processing of your application. You may apply for your
business license online at www.salestaxonline.com (separate paper application for CO may be
required as outlined below). Upon approval of your Sales and Use Tax Business License
application, you will receive your business license and an informational packet regarding tax
return filing requirements in the mail. If you have questions about the business license
application process or sales/use tax questions, please contact the Sales Tax Division at 303-
538-7400.
The total sales/use tax rate within the City of Thornton is 8.5%. The City of Thornton is a home-
rule city; therefore, a separate Sales and Use Tax Business License is required for the City and
the 3.75% city tax is remitted directly to the City. The remaining 4.75% is remitted to the State
of Colorado and you may also be required to be licensed with the State of Colorado. For
questions about State licensing or reporting requirements, you may contact the Colorado
Department of Revenue at 303-238-7378.
2. Thornton Initial Use Tax Return for a New Business – this form explains use tax and
provides you with the opportunity to report any use taxable purchases you may have made up
to this point. If you have no liability at this time, simply enter zero on this form. If you need
additional information regarding use tax and how to determine your liability, please call 303-
538-7400 or visit www.cityofthornton.net.
3. Certificate of Occupancy Application – Upon review and approval of this application by City
planning staff, the Building Inspection Division will contact you to arrange an inspection of your
location to ensure compliance with City Building Codes and to issue a Certificate of Occupancy
(CO). You must obtain a CO prior to opening for business. A new CO is required for all
changes of ownership of existing businesses. A separate check for the $25.00 CO fee is due
when this application is submitted. If you have already obtained a City Building Permit for
construction work at your location, this CO application is not required. If you have questions
about the CO application or building inspection process, you may contact the Building Division
at 303-538-7250.
4. Commercial Occupation License Questionnaire – the information provided on this form will
enable the City Development Department to determine if your intended business activity
complies with City Zoning ordinances. Please answer each question as it applies to your
business. If there is a concern regarding zoning approval, the City will contact you. If you have
questions about zoning approval, you may contact the Planning Division at 303-538-7295.
Thank you and good luck with your business!

THE CITY OF THORNTON SALES AND USE TAX ORDINANCE LEVIES A 3.75% USE TAX UPON:
a) Tangible personal property and taxable services purchased for use (i.e. items not for resale) in the operation of your business within the
corporate limits of Thornton, when no City sales tax was paid at the time of purchase; and
b) Tangible personal property and taxable services (except inventory for resale) acquired through the purchase of an "ongoing or existing
business" within the corporate limits of Thornton.
To determine if Thornton's 3.75% use tax is due, examine the Purchase Agreement and/or all invoice copies of tangible
personal property and taxable services purchased. If the Purchase Agreement and/or invoices do not include 3.75% sales
tax for the City of Thornton, as well as all Colorado State collected sales taxes, then those items should be included on the
schedule below. Some common items subject to the tax include, but not limited to: furniture, fixtures, office equipment,
machinery, software, shelving, cabinets, preprinted forms, books, factory supplies, office supplies, cleaning supplies,
brochures, and leases or rentals of any equipment. If you have questions on the taxability of specific items, contact the City
Sales Tax Division at 303-538-7400 or visit our website at www.cityofthornton.net.
Please schedule below all tangible personal property and taxable services purchased for which use tax is due. If you have purchase
documents which show that City tax has been paid attach copies and enter "none" on the "Tax Due" line. In order for this return to be
properly reviewed, please enclose copies of all invoices and/or other supporting documentation.

of communications, resolutions, if applicable, with supporting documents, and
other related items, made available for each Authority member.

member making the appeal may briefly state the reason for the same, and the
Chairperson may briefly explain the reason for the ruling; but there shall be no
debate on the appeal, and no other member shall participate in the discussion. The

RULE V PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURES FOR RENEWALS, SUSPENSIONS,
FINES, AND REVOCATIONS
A. The Authority has the power after investigation and public hearing at which the licensee
shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard, to suspend, deny renewal of or revoke any
license issued by the Authority for violations by the licensee, or by any of the agents,
servants, or employees of such licensee of the provisions of the Colorado Liquor or Beer
Codes, or any of the rules, ordinances and regulations authorized pursuant to such Codes
or of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the license issued by the Authority.
B. Suspension and revocation proceedings shall be commenced by the Authority by issuing
and causing to be served upon the liquor licensee by first-class mail to the licensee at the
address contained in the license, an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Hearing (Notice).
The Notice shall command the licensee to appear and show cause why its license should
not be suspended or revoked as it appeared to the Authority that there was probable
cause to believe that the licensee or any of the agents, servants or employees violated
laws, rules or regulations of the Colorado Liquor or Beer Code or any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the license issued by the Authority. The Notice shall notify or
inform the licensee of the charges or alleged grounds for suspension or revocation and will
be prepared for the Authority by the City Attorney or designee.
C. All proposed settlements and dispositions of matters scheduled for a public hearing shall
be in the form of joint stipulations and shall be submitted in writing to the offices of the City
Clerk and the City Attorney at least ten days prior to the scheduled public hearing date.
The Authority has the discretion to consider a proposed disposition prior to the hearing.
1. The scheduled public hearing shall be automatically vacated if:
a. The proposed settlement or disposition is properly and timely made in
writing in accordance with Section C; and
b. The proposed settlement is approved as to legal form by the Thornton City
Attorney's office; and
c. No prior proposed settlements or dispositions on the same matter have
been previously submitted to the Authority for consideration; and
d. The licensee has not, within the preceding two years, had its license
suspended and paid a fine-in-lieu (Fine) for such.

notice of proposed settlement or disposition in their packets, or shall provide the
Authority members with electronic or other technology or first-class mail
notification of the matter.
3. Consideration of proposed disposition by the Authority; continuance of hearing
upon rejection.
a. Upon timely filing of the notice of the proposed disposition as provided in
Section C above, the Authority shall, at the time of the scheduled hearing,
consider the proposed stipulations and recommendations. The Authority
RULES OF PROCEDURE C.D. No. 2011-043
PAGE 10
may however, upon good cause shown, consider dispositions presented
either orally or in writing without regard to the provisions of Section C
above. Upon a finding that the public interest is not served by the proffered
disposition, or if the Authority significantly changes the proposed settlement
order and during the Authority's consideration of such, either party has an
objection to such changes, the hearing on the merits shall be continued
and rescheduled to the next regular or special meeting of the Authority.
The continued hearing shall be at least ten days after the original
scheduled hearing date, unless both parties are prepared and agree to
proceed immediately after rejection of the proposed disposition.
b. In the event of rejection of the proposed disposition, the Authority shall
identify the reasons for such rejection, which may include, without
limitation, seriousness of the violations, aggravating or mitigating
circumstances, the history of the subject establishment, corrective actions
taken, likelihood of reoccurrence, and any other relevant matters impacting
the public health, safety and welfare.
4. Subsequent proposed dispositions.
In the event that the Authority, in the exercise of its discretion, should reject the
proposed disposition of a matter, and the issues are rescheduled for hearing on
the merits as set forth in Section 3(a), and the parties submit an amended notice of
proposed disposition, the parties should nevertheless be fully prepared to proceed
on the merits of the case at the rescheduled hearing in the event the amended
proposal for disposition is also rejected by the Authority as herein contemplated.
5. Effect of rejection of proposed disposition--no prejudice.
In the event that the Authority should reject any proposed disposition pursuant to
the provisions of these Rules, neither the City nor the licensee shall suffer any
prejudice or detriment as a result of such rejection. The legal standards and
burden of proof applicable to the proceedings shall be as if the proposal had not
been presented, and a licensee shall suffer no detrimental presumption or
inference as a result of such rejection upon hearing the merits.
6. Factual stipulations.
Nothing in these Rules shall be deemed or construed to preclude or limit either
party before or during a hearing from offering to stipulate as to the existence of any
fact.
7. Notice to licensees.
Along with the Notice sent to any licensee or Notice of Non-Renewal to be
considered at a public hearing, the City Clerk shall include a copy of Rule V of the
Rules.

considering whether a license may be suspended or revoked shall be submitted in writing

Subsection D(1), both parties or their representative shall appear before the
Authority at the scheduled public hearing time ready to proceed with their case.
4. Upon a showing of substantial hardship or other good cause by the requesting
party, the Authority may grant continuances upon such terms and conditions as it
deems just and proper.
E. A hearing on the suspension, revocation, or non-renewal shall be held at a place, day and
time designated by the Authority as stated in the notice of hearing. Evidence in support of
the charges shall be given first, followed by cross-examination of those testifying thereto.
The licensee, in person or by counsel, shall then be permitted to give evidence in defense
and in explanation of the charges, followed by the cross-examination of those testifying
thereto.
F. In the event the licensee is found not to have violated any law, rule or regulation, the
charges against him will be dismissed. If the licensee is found to have violated some

PAGE 12
J. Where the Authority has probable cause to believe a licensee has been guilty of a
deliberate and willful violation of any applicable law or regulation or that the public health,
safety, or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, the Authority may temporarily or
summarily suspend the license for a period not to exceed 15 days pending a hearing on
the suspension or revocation, which hearing shall be promptly instituted and determined.
Any finding by the Authority that a temporary summary suspension is appropriate under
this section must be by a two-thirds vote of the entire nine member Authority, and specific
findings of a willful violation or immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare must
be made and entered in the record and incorporated into any suspension or revocation
order.

less, as provided by Code Section 42-127(c), must submit a written petition to the City
Clerk's office at least three working days prior to the effective date of the suspension and
follow the procedures outlined in C.R.S. 12-47-601(3).

licensee is eligible for the payment of a Fine pursuant to the Code and the laws of
the State of Colorado, and a calculation of the proposed fine as set out in Section
42-127(c) of the Code with sufficient financial documentation so as to permit the
Authority to substantiate the amount of the proposed fine.

petition is timely filed and is accompanied by a non-refundable petition fee as
provided in Section 42-127(c) of the Code.

petition for payment of a Fine, the suspension of the license shall be temporarily
stayed until such time as the Authority acts upon the petition for payment of a Fine.

of the Authority following the filing of the petition.
4. If the Authority denies the petition for payment of a Fine, the suspension shall be
reinstated and the Authority shall indicate the effective date of the suspension.

deemed to be conditioned upon the payment of the fine within ten working days of
the action of the Authority. A new suspension period will be set out in any order
granting a petition for payment of Fine that period of suspension automatically
becoming effective in the event that the licensee fails to pay the fine.
L. The public hearing for a revocation, suspension or non-renewal shall be conducted
following the same applicable procedures as outlined in Rule IV, however, the City will
have the burden of persuading the Authority that a violation occurred or the license should
