 Article II. LICENSING

  § 6-32. Duration of licenses.  

Latest version.

  • All licenses, except as otherwise indicated, issued under this chapter shall be issued on a calendar year basis, and all licenses shall expire at midnight on December 31 of the year for which they are issued. License fees shall be prorated as follows: New applications received after January 1 shall be assessed a license fee based upon the number of months remaining in the calendar year and partial months shall count as a full month.

    (1)

    The alcohol license fees assessed for new license applicants, as established in subsection 6-31(c) above, shall be prorated based on the date the new alcohol license is issued. Fees for new alcohol licenses shall be prorated on a monthly basis. Applicants shall pay one-twelfth of the total fee for each month in which the applicant shall hold a new alcohol license. A new alcohol license issued at any time during a month shall be considered to have been issued on the first of that month. Proration of fees shall not affect due dates for payment of any fees. Renewal alcohol licenses shall not be subject to proration.

    (2)

    If the wholesale dealer's principal place of business is located within the city, the city will levy a license fee in accordance with the classification into which the applicant falls. In addition to the general occupation tax, the wholesale dealer shall also pay a processing fee as listed in the schedule of fees approved by resolution of the city council, which amount shall remain in effect until modified or amended by subsequent resolution adopted by the city council, to cover the expenses of investigation and processing. The applications of wholesale dealers located within the city must be approved by the director or his/her designee.

    (3)

    No city alcohol license or occupational tax permit shall become effective for persons or businesses required to obtain a license under this chapter until each person or business that is required to obtain a license from the state has registered with the state, is in good standing with the state and has received such license.

    (4)

    A processing fee per alcoholic beverage license shall also be submitted to cover the costs of investigation and processing.
