Sec. 6-146Real property; restrictions
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the rulebook for selling, serving and drinking alcohol in Ashburn. It covers who can get a beer, wine or liquor license and how the city council grants, renews, suspends or takes one away; what hours stores and bars can sell; rules for events, BYOB ('brown bagging') and catering; the city's alcohol excise taxes; and a ban on drinking or open containers on city streets and property.
No owner of real property within the corporate limits of the city shall hold a public event on the property, or rent or lease the property to any person for the purpose of holding a public or private event thereon, or otherwise permit or allow a public event to be held on the property, until such owner shall have obtained an annual business license authorizing the holding of events on the property and/or the leasing and renting of property for such purpose, and shall have paid a license fee and a regulatory fee as hereafter provided. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to regulate the conduct of private events, expect for the extent that property owners who rent or lease the property for this purpose.
