§ 50-9. Annual license fee; processing costs.

The annual license fee shall be $25 or such other amount as may be established from time to time by resolution of the Town Board, to be paid at the time the application is made and annually thereafter in the event of renewal. In the event that the application is not granted, the fee shall be returned to the applicant. In addition to the license fee, the applicant shall pay to the Town of Oneonta the costs and expenses incurred in advertising and posting the notices of hearing and any and all other expenses clearly attributable to the processing of the application for a license, and no license shall be issued until such costs and expenses are repaid to the town. The Town Board may, in its discretion, require the applicant to either prepay such expenses or deposit such sum as the Town Board may deem necessary in anticipation of such expenses. Such expense moneys shall not be repaid to the applicant even though a license may not be issued. The license fee shall not be prorated in the event that an application is made to cover only a part of a year. All renewals shall be issued for the year beginning April 1 and terminating on the 31st day of the following March.
