Rice County Votes to Waive Liquor License Fees The Rice County Board of Commissioners voted today unanimously to waive liquor license fees for bars and restaurant for 2021. Property Tax and Elections Department Director Denise Anderson said she and City Administrator Sara Folsted were in agreement with the action. Anderson said, "This is not the one time temporary license. These are the establishments that are open all year. This would be a $20,000 savings for all the liquor license establishments and it would be a $20,000 hit to my budget but I feel like we could support that this year due to what they have went through."
