The annual retail license fee if an applicant holds a Class A retail license under State law shall be the sum of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per outlet. The annual retail license fee if an applicant holds a Class B retail license shall be five hundred dollars ($500.00) per outlet.
(c) A retail license shall expire on the thirtieth day of June of each year and may be renewed only upon the submission of an application and payment of the required annual fee to the Director of Finance of the City on or before July 1 of each year, on forms he may prescribe.
(d) No person shall sell liquor at any retail outlet within the City if the retail license applicable to such outlet has been suspended or revoked or has expired.
