Athens City Code

It is unlawful for any person or legal entity regardless of its form of existence, i.e., corporation, limited liability company, partnership, etc., 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 authorize and furnish and shall be filed in the city manager's office, accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee of $250.00. The fee shall be in the form of a cashier's check payable to the city. Each applicant, and, if an entity, a person with ownership interest in the entity, must be a person of good moral character and certify that the applicant has not been convicted of any violation of the laws against possession, sale, manufacture, or transportation of beer or any crime involving moral turpitude within the past five years. Further, the applicant must certify that the applicant has read and is familiar with the provisions of this chapter. Upon receipt of the notarized application, the city manager's office will schedule the presentation of the application to the beer board and will notify the permittee or licensee of the date and time of such meeting.
