LICENSE FEES

(a) A separate license fee is required for each place of business that brews, imports, or sells malt beverages. (b) All license fees shall be deposited as provided in Section 205.02. Each license application must be accompanied by a cashier's check, a teller's check, a check drawn on the account of a corporation applying for a license or on the account of a corporation that is an agent for the person applying for a license, a money order, or payment by credit card, charge card, or other electronic form of payment approved by commission rule for the amount of the state fee, payable to the order of the comptroller. (c) No licensee may obtain a refund on the surrender or nonuse of a license except as provided by this code. (d) The commissioner may not refund a license fee except when the licensee is prevented from continuing in business by a local option election or when an application for a license is rejected by the commission or administrator. As much of the proceeds from license fees as is necessary may be appropriated for that purpose. (e) The commission by rule shall establish a method for transmitting five percent of the license fee to the assessor and collector of taxes of the county in which the applicant's business is located.
