MyTax Illinois, our online account management system.

Once your renewal is processed, you will be able to view and print your new
license from the “Correspondence” tab of your MyTax Illinois account.

You will receive an email reminder from ILCC 45 days prior to the expiration
date on your liquor license.

online.
