Distance requirements

Why is an alcoholic beverage license survey necessary?

In Georgia the sale of alcoholic beverages is closely regulated by state law and local ordinances. In most jurisdictions, a minimum distance is specified between alcoholic outlets and various land uses, such as churches and schools. In order to verify that these minimum distance requirements are met, most authorities require that an applicant obtain an alcoholic license survey from a state registered land surveyor.
