Aventura Alcohol Zoning Now Online via eTRAKiT Portal

Aventura businesses seeking alcohol and beverage zoning approval can now use the city's eTRAKiT online portal for a streamlined application process. The digital system simplifies what was a manual procedure, offering a step-by-step guide for applicants.

The implementation of eTRAKiT means local businesses, particularly in the hospitality sector, can expect a more efficient turnaround time for their applications. The system guides users through account creation, project selection, and document submission.

Applicants create a public user account on the eTRAKiT website. After logging in, users select 'Alcohol and Beverage Approval' under 'Projects.' The system then prompts applicants to complete all necessary fields and upload required files. Applicants must double-check their email address, as zoning approval on the State DBPR Application will be sent electronically.

The final steps involve reviewing the application, submitting it, and processing payment. Users can choose to 'Pay Now' or 'Add to Shopping Cart' for multiple requests. A 2.79% credit card convenience fee applies. Once payment is complete, an email receipt will be sent. The city anticipates processing requests within three to four business days after receiving both the request and payment. For questions, applicants can email [email protected].
