A full on-sale general (Type 47/48) liquor license in Sacramento County trades on the secondary market — typically $50,000 to $400,000 depending on county quota tightness — because California caps how many quota licenses exist per county. Right now CA ABC data shows 1,507 active quota licenses and 134 surrendered or in-transfer (potentially acquirable) in Sacramento County.

Yes. CA ABC's latest export lists 48 surrendered and 86 transfer-pending quota licenses in Sacramento County — these are the licenses most likely to change hands. The newly-distressed ones are listed on this page; LiquorDesk alerts buyers and brokers the week each one is published.

Two routes: (1) apply to CA ABC for a new quota license if the county has availability under its quota (rare in tight counties — there's often a waiting list or a priority drawing), or (2) buy an existing license via a person-to-person transfer (a Section 24070 transfer), which is how most quota licenses in Sacramento County actually change hands. Surrendered and transfer-pending licenses (listed above) are the live inventory.

California issues on-sale general (Type 47/48) and off-sale general (Type 21) licenses against a per-county quota tied to population. In counties where the quota is full, the only way to get one is a transfer from an existing holder — which is why surrendered and distressed licenses are valuable and why catching them first matters.
