Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations

Licensees that hold multiple licenses and who choose to consolidate all their licenses into the same license year as authorized by the Kansas Department of Revenue, in addition to notifying the Alcohol Beverage Control licensing unit in writing, will serve a copy of their written notice upon the City Clerk and, at their next license renewal, must file applications for all licenses and permits held by the entity. Upon issuance of the new state licenses and the surrender of the un-expired City licenses, the City Clerk shall issue new licenses to coincide with the surrender of the un-expired City license and the Licensee will receive a refund for the unused portion of the license tax upon written request to the City Clerk.

A license tax may be transferred during the two year term if the Licensee changes the status of the Premises from Drinking Establishment to private Club or private Club to Drinking Establishment, provided the licensee pays a transfer fee (set by resolution).

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, failure to pay the full amount due under this paragraph on the date it is due shall result in the automatic cancellation of such license for the remainder of the license term. The City Clerk may extend the date payment is due pursuant to this paragraph for not more than 30 days beyond the date such payment is originally due if the Director extends the Licensee's date of payment is due pursuant to K.S.A. 41-2606(d), and amendments thereto. When the Licensee pays the full amount of the license tax upon application and is prevented from operating under such license for reasons other than suspension or revocation of the license for the entire second year of the license term, a refund shall be made of one-half of the license fee paid by such Licensee.

The place of business of any licensee may be changed from one location to another within the City upon special application to the City Clerk describing the new location and upon the approval of the City Clerk and accompanied by a non-refundable application fee (set by resolution). (See K.S.A. 41-2627; K.S.A. 41-315)
