8-207 : Permit required.

  1. Permit required for engaging in beer business. It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, store for sale, distribute for sale, or manufacture beer without first making application to and obtaining a permit from the beer board. The application shall be made on such form as the board shall prescribe and/or furnish, and pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated, § 57-5-101(B), and shall be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). Said fee shall be in the form of a cashier's check payable to the Town of Mosheim. Each applicant must be a person of good moral character and certify that he has read and is familiar with the provisions of this chapter.
  2. Privilege tax. There is hereby imposed on the business of selling, distributing, storing, or manufacturing beer an annual privilege tax of one hundred dollars ($100.00). Any person, firm, corporation, joint stock company, syndicate, or association engaged in the sale, distribution, storage, or manufacture of beer shall remit the tax on January 1, 1994, and each successive January, to the Town of Mosheim, Tennessee. At the time a new permit is issued to any business subject to this tax, the permit holder shall be required to pay the privilege tax on a prorated basis for each month or portion thereof remaining until the next tax payment date.
  3. Civil penalty in lieu of suspension. The beer board may, at the time it imposes a revocation, offer a permit holder the alternative of paying a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) for each offense of making or permitting to be made any sales to minors, or a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for any other offense. If a civil penalty is offered as an alternative or revocation or suspension, the holder shall have seven (7) days within which to pay the civil penalty before the revocation or suspension shall be imposed, if the civil penalty is paid within that time, the revocation or suspension shall be deemed withdrawn.
  4. Timely filing of application for permit to sell beer. All applications for a permit to sell beer must be properly and timely filed with the Town of Mosheim Recorder at least fourteen (14) days prior to consideration of the application by the beer board.
