(A) All persons, businesses or entities meeting the criteria set forth in KRS 243.100 and who are required to seek a City of Lawrenceburg ABC License shall submit a completed copy of the State ABC application to the City ABC Administrator.
(B) Applicants for a license under this chapter shall pay the license fee as asset forth in Section 117.05 herein. Any license issued after July 1 of any year shall be assessed the full fee for such license if six (6) months or more remain before the license is due to be renewed and one-half (1/2) the fee if less than six (6) months remain before the license is due to be renewed. No abatement of license fees shall be permitted to any person who held a license of the same kind for the same premises in the preceding license period and who was actually doing business under the license during the last month of the preceding license period.
(C) The applicant for a city license for which provision is made herein shall tender with its application a consent document which shall state:
“The undersigned applicant hereby grants its irrevocable consent to the City ABC Administrator, or his duly appointed designee, to come upon and inspect and search the licensed premises at any reasonable time.”
(D) Pursuant to KRS 243.670, the license fee for every license authorized in this chapter shall be payable by the person who makes application for the license and to whom it is issued, and no other person shall pay for any license issued under those sections.

No licensee shall post the license or permit it to be posted, upon premises other than the licensed premises or upon premises where traffic in alcoholic beverages is being carried on by any person other than the licensee, or knowingly deface, destroy, or alter the license in any respect.
(F) The renewal by the City Administrator of the certificate or permit of any alcoholic beverage license shall not be construed to waive or condone any violation that occurred prior to the renewal and shall not prevent subsequent proceedings against the licensee.
