Alcohol and Gaming Commissions Ontario (AGCO) Minimum Requirements - If you will be serving alcohol

Important Update for 2023:

Starting on January 1, 2023:

NEW! Most liquor sales licensees and manufacturers that hold a by-the-glass endorsement who want to operate a temporary patio will need municipal approval
NEW! Upon obtaining an approval from a municipality, you are required to then notify the AGCO by making a submission on the iAGCO portal before selling or serving liquor on your temporary patio (see Notifying the AGCO of an Approved Temporary Patio)
NEW! Temporary patios may only operate for a maximum of eight months per calendar year
The AGCO will no longer accept applications or otherwise approve temporary patios for licensees located in municipalities.

What you need to do
Liquor sales licensees and by-the-glass endorsement holders:
- Contact your local municipality for information on their approval process:
- -> Seek approval from your local municipality well in advance of using your temporary patio
- -> Direct your questions about approval of the temporary patio to your local municipality
- Continue to comply with:
- -> Existing AGCO requirements for permanent indoor and outdoor extensions and temporary indoor extensions
- -> The Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, its regulations, the Registrar’s Interim Standards and Requirements for Liquor as well as any other existing conditions on the licence and any conditions that have been specified on the temporary patio approval by the municipality
