Alcohol Surveys for Georgia Alcohol License Applications
A business applying for an alcoholic beverage license may be asked by its city or county to provide a survey, distance exhibit, or certified survey document as part of the application process. These services may be described as an alcoholic beverage survey, alcohol survey, liquor license survey, beer and wine survey, beverage license survey, or alcohol distance survey.
Requirements are different for each city, county, license type, and property. CC Land Surveyors reviews the available application instructions and surveying requirements for the applicable jurisdiction before establishing the project scope.
Our role is to provide professional land surveying information requested for the application. The city, county, or other licensing authority makes the final determination regarding compliance and approval.

Vape, Smoke & Tobacco Shop Surveys
Some Georgia cities and counties impose location, zoning, and minimum-distance requirements on vape shops, smoke shops, tobacco retailers, and businesses primarily selling vapor or alternative nicotine products. Depending on the jurisdiction, an applicant may be required to provide a survey, distance exhibit, site plan, or other professionally prepared document showing the proposed business location in relation to schools, day care facilities, churches, parks, residential properties, other vape or tobacco shops, or other regulated uses. Requirements vary substantially between Georgia jurisdictions. CC Land Surveyors reviews the applicable local ordinance or application requirements before establishing the survey scope and measurement method.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to complete an alcoholic beverage survey?
Standard projects are typically completed within 3 to 5 business days after the site visit. Expedited service may be available depending on current project volume and the complexity of the measurement requirements.
Does CC Land Surveyors guarantee application approval?
Our role is to provide accurate, certified land surveying data that reflects the physical distance and property conditions as they exist. The actual approval of an alcoholic beverage license is determined solely by the local city, county, or state licensing authority based on their evaluation of your application and current local laws.
What distances are usually measured for an alcohol survey?
Most Georgia jurisdictions require measurements from the establishment's main entrance to the nearest property lines of schools, churches, parks, libraries, or daycare centers. Specific measurement methods (straight line vs. path of travel) vary by city and county code.
Are your surveys accepted statewide?
Yes. Our surveys are performed by licensed professional land surveyors in the State of Georgia. Our documents are professionally sealed and signed, meeting the certification standards required by municipal and county governments across the state.
Do I need to be present for the surveyors to visit?
Generally, no. Our surveyors can complete the external measurement work and site evaluation without you on-site, provided we have unobstructed access to the exterior of the property and its entry points.
Do vape shops need a survey in Georgia?
Not every vape shop in Georgia is automatically required to obtain a survey. Requirements depend on the city or county where the business is located and the type of license, zoning approval, or permit being requested. Some jurisdictions impose minimum separation distances from schools, churches, day care facilities, residential properties, other vape shops, or other regulated uses. CC Land Surveyors can review the applicable local requirements and prepare the survey or distance exhibit requested by the jurisdiction.
