§ 6-19. License required.

(a)

Every person desiring to sell at retail or wholesale within the town any of the beverages defined and enumerated in G.S. 18B-101, as amended, shall first obtain a license from the tax collector. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate business within the town without having paid and obtained the license tax. No such license shall be issued by the tax collector until the applicant has obtained the appropriate permit from the state board of alcoholic control as provided by G.S. ch. 18B. The license tax must be paid before the person opens for business and is due May 1 of each subsequent year. The license must be posted in a conspicuous place at the business.

(b)

The issuance of a license under this article does not authorize the carrying on of a business for which additional licenses or qualifications are required by state or local law, nor does the issuance of a license prevent the town from enforcing or enacting other regulations applicable to the licensee. The license may be revoked or suspended upon the licensee's violation of local or state laws related to the business operations.
