A person is prohibited from conducting or advertising any sale without obtaining a permit. To conduct a Fire Sale or Going-Out-of-Business Sale, you must apply for a permit. The fee for the application is $50, payable either in cash if in person or by check if sent by mail, made out to Ken Burton Jr., Tax Collector.
Upon receipt of your application and fee payment, the Tax Collector may issue a permit allowing you to advertise and conduct the sale under the following conditions:
- The permit allows the specified sale described in your application for a period not exceeding 60 consecutive days, including Sundays and legal holidays, from the date of issuance.
- The permit authorizes the sale only as described in your application and at the specified location.
- The permit allows the sale only of goods listed in the inventory attached to your application.
- If issued a permit for a going-out-of-business sale, you must surrender to the tax collector all other business license(s) who will forward them to the licensing authority for cancellation.
- The permit is non-assignable and non-transferable.
The permit issued must be prominently displayed near the entrance to the premises.
