§ 5.91.070. License renewal and expiration.

A.

Renewal of License. A tobacco retailer license is invalid unless the appropriate fee has been paid in full and the term of the license has not expired. All prior year's fines and fees must be paid in full for license renewal unless otherwise agreed upon by the city and licensee. The term of a tobacco retailer license is one (1) calendar year running from January 1—December 31. Each tobacco retailer shall annually apply for the renewal of his or her tobacco retailer's license and submit the license fee no later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the license term.

B.

Expiration of License. A tobacco retailer's license that is not timely renewed shall expire at the end of its term. To reinstate a license that has expired, or to renew a license not timely renewed pursuant to subsection (A), the proprietor must:

1.

Submit the license fee plus a reinstatement fee of ten percent (10%) of the license fee.

2.

Submit a signed affidavit affirming that the proprietor:

(i)

has not sold and will not sell any tobacco product or tobacco paraphernalia after the license expiration date and before the license is renewed; or

(ii)

has waited the appropriate ineligibility period established for tobacco retailing without a license, as set forth in Section 5.91.150 A. of this chapter, before seeking renewal of the license.
