Smyrna staff to send certified notices as beer-permit holders fall behind on $100 privilege tax
Loading...
Summary
Town staff told the Smyrna Beer Board on Nov. 3 that annual $100 privilege-tax notices will be mailed to beer-permit holders. Several accounts are two years behind; staff will send certified letters and may bring delinquent permits to the board for suspension or revocation if not paid by January.
Town staff told the Smyrna Beer Board on Nov. 3, 2025, that it is preparing annual privilege-tax notices for beer-permit holders and that some accounts are up to two years past due.
Amber, a town staff member, said each beer-permit holder is required to pay a $100 annual privilege tax, typically due in January. She said she has identified permit holders who are behind on payments, including a couple that are two years delinquent. Amber said she has asked Mr. Gross to prepare a certified-mail letter to serve as formal notice and that, if accounts are not brought current by January, staff anticipates bringing those accounts before the beer board for potential suspension or revocation of the permit.
Board members asked clarifying questions. A member confirmed the annual amount is $100 and Amber confirmed some accounts owe 2024 and 2025 amounts and that notices will be sent; she said she expects to identify truly delinquent accounts for board action after January.
The board did not vote on any enforcement action at the Nov. 3 meeting; staff described the planned administrative steps for notification and possible future board review.
