(A) A business license may be revoked or denied by the County Commission because of:
(1) The failure of the licensee or applicant to comply with the requirements of this subchapter or any other county ordinance, or with the requirements of any state law;
(2) Unlawful activities conducted or permitted on the premises where the business is conducted; and
(3) Unwillingness to remit applicable sales taxes: TC62S; TC62F; and/or TC-62R.
(B) Prior to the revocation of a license, and prior to the denial of an application for renewal of a license, the licensee-applicant shall be given notice that the County Commission intends to revoke or deny the business license and the reasons for that intention. A hearing shall be held between ten and 30 days from the time of the notice, either at a regular or special meeting of the County Commission, to consider the matter. The licensee-applicant shall have the right to hear the evidence, present his or her own evidence, cross-examine those present, and be represented by counsel. These provisions do not apply to the denial of an application for a business from a business which has not been previously licensed by the county.
