Mahtomedi On-Sale Liquor $3,200 On-Sale Wine $300 Last increased the liquor license fees in 2019 and it was a sharp increase from $2,100 to $3,200. We generally do a survey every 4-5 years to see where other similar cities are and then determine if we will increase or not. The amount of the increase would be based on the average increase seen in surrounding communities. Our council wants to ensure our license holders can afford the license fee and do not want it to become cumbersome since these folks have had a rough few years.
