The local liquor control commissioner shall grant liquor licenses in accordance
with the provisions of the laws of the state of Illinois and provisions of this
chapter. Any person desiring a license under this chapter shall make application to
the local liquor control commissioner to be filed with the city clerk who shall
provide a blank form for that purpose in such form as may be designated by the
local liquor control commissioner. The application shall be sworn to by the
applicant, if an individual, and by at least two (2) members of any partnership
applying for such license. Applications by corporations shall be subscribed and
sworn to by the president and attested by Secthe secretary thereof. All nonrenewal
applications shall include a nonrefundable license application fee of three hundred
and fifty dollars ($350.00) to cover application handling and the costs to conduct
background investigations of the applicants. In addition to the application fee, a
sum equal in amount to the license fee payable up until the next payment or
renewal date shall also be deposited with the city clerk. Should the application be
denied, the license fee deposit (not the application fee) shall be refunded to the
applicant. All applications shall set forth such facts as may be necessary to show
that the applicant is entitled to a license under the laws of the state and this
chapter, including a description of the premises to be used by the licensee under
the license.
Each licensee shall make application for renewal of his or her license to the liquor
control commissioner not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
licensing period. If a renewal applicant is not timely in his renewal application,
additional fees will be assessed. Any renewal applicant submitting an application

for renewal less than thirty (30) days but not less than seven (7) days prior to the
end of the licensing period will be assessed an additional fee of one hundred
dollars ($100.00). Any renewal applicant submitting an application for renewal
less than seven(7)days prior to the end of the licensing period will be assessed an
additional fee of seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00). The annual license
fee for the license must accompany the renewal application. If the liquor control
commissioner determines that the renewal application contains information that is
in any way changed from the original application for license, in which case a new
investigation of the license is necessary, a fee of three hundred and fifty dollars
($350.00) shall be charged to the licensee to cover the costs of such investigation,
in addition to the yearly license fee.
If, after investigation, it is determined that the applicant is not entitled to a
renewal license, the yearly license fee shall be returned. The charge for the
investigation is nonrefundable.
A renewal license shall be issued provided the licensee is entitled to receive a
license and provided that the premises for which renewal license is sought are
suitable for such purposes; provided further that the renewal privilege herein
provided for shall not be construed as a vested right which shall in any case
prevent the corporate authorities from decreasing the number of licenses to be
issued within the city.
In the event that the city shall reduce the number of licenses below that number
issued in the prior year and the number of applicants do not decrease such as to be
equal to or less than the number of available licenses, the liquor control
commissioner, in determining which licenses to renew such that the number of
licenses issued is equal to the number of available licenses, may consider the date
of application, years holding prior licenses, adequate service to areas in city,
record of violations or any other reasonable basis."

liquor licenses as set forth in the table in Section 3-3-513 of Title 3, Chapter 3 of the Yorkville
