35-4-120. Certain licensees to report amount paid for other licenses--Objection to report--Hearing--Appeal. Upon the adoption of an ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111, any person who purchased an on-sale license issued pursuant to subdivision 35-4-2(4) or (6) within the last five years shall report to the municipality or county that issued the license the amount paid for the license. If the municipality or county that issued the on-sale license adopts an ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111, and requests from any other licensee the amount originally paid for any other on-sale license pursuant to § 35-4-117, the licensee shall report that amount to the municipality or county. The declared purchase price shall be made under oath and shall include the documents establishing the amount paid for the on-sale license. If the transaction included other personal property or real property, the full market value of the other property on the date of the transaction shall be deducted from the total purchase price to establish the amount paid for the license. The person who owned the license as of the date of the adoption of the ordinance has the burden of establishing the amount paid for the license. If the amount reported is used to determine current fair market value pursuant to § 35-4-117, any licensee who contends that the amount does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the license on the date of purchase may file an objection to the report. The objection shall be filed with the municipality or county within thirty days of the date the license fee is set pursuant to § 35-4-116. If an objection is filed, the governing board of the municipality or county shall conduct a hearing to determine the fair market value of the license. The determination of the governing board may be appealed to circuit court.
