Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Distributors,
				vendors and cooperatives or pool buying vendors who require additional storage
				outside of their licensed premises must obtain a permit therefor. Such permits
				can be obtained from the Division without fee, provided that the storage room
				is located in the same county as the parent place of business of the licensee
				or agent of such cooperatives or pool buying vendors to whom the permit was
				issued. No such permits shall be issued to a structure which is or is a part of
				any residence or garage of a licensee.
(2) Such permits authorize the storage of
				alcoholic beverages only in sealed containers. Applications for such permits
				shall be made on Form DBPR ABT 6017, Application for Off-Premises Storage
				Permit, effective 10-2019, adopted and incorporated herein by reference. This
				form is available upon request from the Department of Business and Professional
				Regulation, Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, 2601 Blair Stone Road,
				Tallahassee, Florida 32399, or the Division's district office serving your area
				of interest whose contact information is provided on the Division website at
http://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/alcoholic-beverages-and-tobacco/license-information/
,
				or at
https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-11171
.
				The application shall be submitted to the district office in which the licensed
				place of business for which the permit is sought is located.
(3) The district office will prepare a permit
				showing the name of the licensee and the licensed premises the licensee owns
				and operates. The storage permit shall be conspicuously posted at the
				off-premises storage facility.
(4)
				The renewal of off-premises storage permits will be automatic and concurrent
				with the beverage license renewal. The permit shall remain in effect until
				cancelled by the licensee or Division. Upon a change in ownership of the
				beverage license which corresponds to the off-premises storage permit, the
				existing permit shall be cancelled by the Division.
(5) In the event a licensee discontinues the
				use of the off-premises storage permit, the permit shall be forwarded by the
				licensee to the district office in which the licensed place of business for
				which the permit is sought is located for cancellation.
(6) By acceptance of such storage permit, the
				licensee shall agree that the storage premises shall be subject to search by
				authorized employees of the Division, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and police
				officers during the hours such premise is occupied by the permittee or other
				persons.
