Any establishment that sells beer and operates within the corporate limits of Johnson City must maintain a Beer License, which is issued in accordance with City ordinances. Application is placed on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Commission meeting. Commission meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month.
Commission approves or denies the application.
If approved, the license is valid for one year. Beer Licenses are subject to review. They are also subject to new laws or ordinances affecting the establishment or the license. The City acts as an agent in the collection of the state-required tax. The application must be received within 20 days from business commencement.
