Section 35-4-117 - Price of full-service restaurant on-sale license set at or above current fairmarket value.
35-4-117. Price of full-service restaurant on-sale license set at or above current fair market value. Any municipality or county adopting the ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111 shall set the price of a new full-service restaurant on-sale license, pursuant to § 35-4-116, at or above the current fair market value. However, such full-service restaurant on-sale license fee may not be less than the minimum on-sale license fee provided for in subdivision 35-4-2(4) or (6). For purposes of this section, the term, current fair market value, means the documented price of the on-sale license most recently sold between January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, through an arm's-length transaction, less the value of any real or personal property included in the transaction. Each on-sale license holder as of January 1, 2008, who acquired the on-sale license within the last five years shall report to the municipality or county the date and price paid for its on-sale license. If there are no documented sales of on-sale licenses between January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, the municipality or county may request from any on-sale license holder within the municipality or county, the date and price originally paid for its on-sale license to determine the current fair market value.
