The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) announced Tuesday that it would return more than $2.4 million in licensing fees to 1,411 municipalities in which licensees are located.

The PLCB returns liquor license fees paid by licensees to the municipalities where they are located twice a year as required by law.

The current dispersal represents fees paid from Feb. 1 to July 31. Fifty-seven cities, 566 boroughs, and 788 townships will receive payments ranging from $25 to $403,675.

Municipalities can allocate and spend the returned license fees to meet local needs.

Over the past five years, the PLCB has returned a total of $22.5 million in licensing fees to local municipalities.

The PLCB oversees the regulation of more than 15,000 retail liquor licenses statewide. Liquor license fees range from $125 to $700, depending on the type of license and the population of the municipality in which the license is located. Licensee pay fees as part of the annual license renewal or validation process, as well as upon approval of new applications.
