§ 6-213. Renewal.

All licenses granted hereunder expire on December 31 of each year unless renewed as herein provided. Licensees who desire to renew a license must file an application with the requisite license fee with the Fulton County Police Department upon forms provided by the Fulton County Police Department on or before November 15 of each year and not later than December 15. Such application for renewal must be submitted to the Fulton County Police Department. The Fulton County Police Department will review a licensee's application for renewal. As part of its review, the Fulton County Police Department will review the frequency of calls for police service or for police intervention to the licensed premises or the proposed licensed premises, during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of application, taking into consideration the severity of such incidents; or the frequency of calls for police service or for police intervention around such premises, if it is demonstrated that the criminal activity around the licensed premises had some connection with the premises or the owner(s) or employees of the premises and/or the criminal activity occurred within 100 feet of the premises. Based on its review, the Fulton County Police Department may recommend denial or non-renewal of the license. The denial of an application for renewal will be in accordance with sections 6-203 and 6-204 of this article. In cases where licensees fail to file an application for renewal on or before November 15, a penalty of ten percent of the license fee will be levied up until December 15. Thereafter, a new license must be obtained.
