How do I report retail license information?

There are two methods to file Form AT-827 within MyDORGov. This is the same portal that you submit your Municipal Assessment Report, Statement of Assessment, and many other forms and reports.

1.   Fewer than 50 license holders – go to MyDORGov and locate Form AT-827 on the form filing page

1. View and update your municipal contact information and the licenses you reported last year
2. Add new licenses issued since your last report
3. Submit your report

2.   50 or more license holders – go to MyDORGov and locate Form AT-827 on the form filing page. Use bulk filing within the form.

1. Prepare your license holder information using the same prescribed CSV file you previously used
• You will receive a separate email from DORAlcohol@wisconsin.gov with a CSV file containing the license information reported last year
• Make sure to update the information in the CSV file and add new information, as necessary
2. Within Form AT-827 – select "Yes" to "Do you want to do bulk file upload?"
