​Wisconsin law requires municipal clerks to annually report (Form AT-827) to the Department of Revenue their alcohol beverage and cigarette, tobacco products, and electronic vaping device retail licenses. The report is due by July 15 each year. Updates may be reported throughout the year. The report must be filed online through the department's My DOR Government Account.

Getting Started

1. Prepare a list of your renewed or newly issued licenses.
2. Verify that the licensee holds a valid seller's permit with the department. Seller's permit numbers are 15-digits long and begin with a "456" prefix (e.g., 456-1234567890-03).
3. The licensee may be an individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability corporation (LLC), or nonprofit organization. You MUST issue the license in the legal name of the licensee. The licensee is the name on the license application.
4. Compare the current list of your licenses to your previously filed report. Delete or deactivate any licenses that were not renewed. Add any new licenses.
5. Submit your report to the department.
