(A) Special event, special use permit or foreign caterer retailer's licenses shall be limited in duration to the special event, special use or catering function for which they are issued.
(B) All other licenses issued pursuant to this chapter shall be for one-year periods beginning on January 1. Licenses issued for the term of November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 will be automatically extended to December 31, 2021.
(C) No license shall be held in existence by the mere payment of fees.
