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.
(a) Rate of levy. There is hereby set and levied on the sale of wine, excluding fortified wine, an excise tax in the sum of $0.22 per wine gallon and in similar proportion for bottles and containers of various sizes.
(b) Against whom levied. The wine excise tax shall be paid by each licensed wholesale dealer in wine in the city.
(c) Due date and required report. The wine excise tax shall be paid on or before the tenth day of the month following the calendar month in which the beverages are sold or disposed of, and payment shall be accompanied by a report itemizing the exact quantities of wine sold for the preceding calendar month by size of container.
