Montgomery County Liquor Control provides wholesale and retail sales of beverage alcohol products while promoting moderation and responsible behavior. Although Maryland is considered a license state, citizens of Montgomery County enjoy the many benefits offered by a control jurisdiction. With emphases on customer service and control, it conducts the wholesale distribution of beverage alcohol, while sharing the retail segment with approximately 870 license-holders, consisting of restaurants, delicatessens, country clubs and lodges, among other establishments. The Department of Liquor Control deposits its profits into Montgomery County's General Fund to pay for important citizen services such as firefighters, police and teachers, or other services that otherwise would be funded through taxpayer dollars.
