Sec. 6-168Delinquency
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.
If after 45 days any excise tax imposed by this division is not paid by any holder of a wholesale alcoholic beverage license, then the excise tax assessed against such license holder shall become delinquent and all of the provisions of this Code relative to the collection of delinquent taxes shall be applicable for the collection of such excise tax. Alcoholic beverages on which city taxes have not been paid are subject to seizure and may be destroyed or sold by public sale as provided by law.
