Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division

Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division

The Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division is the alcoholic beverage control authority for the U.S. state of Iowa. Since March 8, 1934, it has regulated the traffic in, and maintained a monopoly on the wholesaling of, alcoholic beverages in the state, thus making Iowa an alcoholic beverage control state.

In fiscal year 2005, the Division generated nearly $78 million for the state of Iowa, representing more than 1% of the state's total revenue. $49.6 million of that amount was net profit from the direct sale of alcohol in Iowa, whereas liquor license fees brought in $8.9 million, the excise taxes on beer and wine brought in $14 million and $5.3 million respectively, and civil penalties brought in $106,500 [http://www.iowaabd.com/index.jsp] .

The Division facility is located in Ankeny. The Division has five sections: Administration, Alcohol, Tobacco, the Liquor Wholesale Operation and Support. It has, as of 2006, 50 full-time employees.

A reorganization of the state's liquor control system took place in 1987, as 207 state retail liquor stores were closed, and 256 licensed private outlets replace them. As of July 1, 1987, 410 licensed private outlets sold liquor to retail customers and on-premise license holders, while the Division continued wholesaling liquor to the private stores.

On May 5, 2000, authority for tobacco enforcement was transferred to the Division, which created the Iowa Pledge Tobacco Education and Enforcement Program. [http://www.iowaabd.com/about_office/historical_highlights/historical_highlights.jsp]

In 2004, the Division sold more than 3.25 million gallons of liquor, worth a total of $133.7 million. [http://www.iowaabd.com/about_office/facility/facility.jsp]
