Board postpones Nat Vets per‑diem permit over missing IRS status and municipal approvals
Summary
The Board continued a hearing on a Nat Vets one‑day per‑diem permit after staff reported the group's IRS 501(c)(3) status had been revoked and its reinstatement was pending; the town code official also reported unresolved zoning and occupancy questions for the building.
The Board of License Commissioners on June 17 continued a hearing on a one‑day per‑diem nonprofit permit requested by the Nat Vets (Andrew H. Smack Jr. chapter) because the organization's federal nonprofit status had been revoked and its reinstatement remained pending.
Board staff told the panel they had documentation showing an IRS revocation and a pending application for reinstatement submitted June 3, 2026; the applicants said they have completed and resubmitted the paperwork and are awaiting the IRS reply. Separately, board staff presented written email correspondence from the Snow Hill code official stating there is no recorded special‑exception zoning permit for the property, no occupancy certificate on file, and no record of the fire marshal completing an inspection for the building. Staff recommended not issuing the per‑diem permit until the IRS reinstatement letter and municipal building/fire approvals are submitted.
The board accepted staff exhibits into the record and continued the hearing, inviting the applicants to return with the IRS reinstatement confirmation and documentation from the town that zoning, occupancy and fire‑safety inspections have been completed.
Ending: the board will hold the file open and reconvene when the applicants provide the outstanding paperwork.
