Parks & Recreation Grant

Alcoholic Liquor Fund

The State of Kansas, through KSA 79-41a04, has established the Alcoholic Liquor Fund to distribute revenues from alcoholic liquor taxes to local units of government. The law outlines how these funds are allocated based on the location and population of cities within each county.

Fund Distribution to Counties

Each county receives:

• 70% of the amount collected from:

  • Clubs, public venues, or drinking establishments located outside the corporate limits of any city within the county
  • Caterers whose principal place of business is located outside city limits
  • Temporary permit holders whose permitted events occur outside city limits
    (Funds must be paid into the state treasury during the applicable allocation period)

• 23⅓% of the amount collected from:

  • Clubs, public venues, or drinking establishments located within a city in the county that has a population of 6,000 or less
  • Caterers whose principal place of business is located in such cities
  • Temporary permit holders whose permitted events occur in such cities
    (Funds must be paid into the state treasury during the applicable allocation period)

Use of Parks and Recreation Funds

Funds credited to the Parks and Recreation Fund are managed by the Board of County Commissioners. These funds may be granted to local agencies and organizations exclusively for the purchase, establishment, maintenance, or expansion of park and recreational services, programs, and facilities.
