It shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale at retail, to give away, deliver or to keep with the intention of selling at retail, giving away or delivering tobacco products within the Village without having first obtained a tobacco dealer's license therefor pursuant to this chapter and § 111.31(A).
(B) License–point of sale. A separate license must be obtained for each point of sale maintained by the retailer. The license to sell tobacco products shall be displayed prominently at the point of sale for which it is issued.

Such license shall be in addition to any other license required by this Code.
(C) License–administration. The Building and Code Enforcement Department, along with the Joint Commission for Tobacco and Cannabis Regulation and Licensing shall administer the licensing of retailers of tobacco products and shall recommend to the Commissioner of Tobacco and Cannabis Regulation approval or denial of all applications for licenses, as prescribed in Chapter 129B of this Code. Applications for renewals need not be reviewed by the Joint Commission for Tobacco and Cannabis Regulation and Licensing.
(D) License–transfer prohibited. The transfer of any license issued under this chapter is prohibited. Any such purported transfer is void.
(E) Duration. A license issued pursuant to this chapter shall be valid from the first day of each year and shall expire on December 31 following the date of issuance, unless suspended or revoked.
