The Board of License Commissioners shall have all authority
to grant licenses and permits, except permits to public service corporations
for locations in streets and ways of the Town.
All applications for licenses and permits shall be filed with
the Licensing Coordinator, and all petitions for hearings or other
requests which require or provide for publication, or advertising
in newspapers, shall be accompanied by a fee sufficient to pay the
expenses of such publication or notification, payable to the Town.
When a public hearing is required, the applicant shall be responsible
for providing written notice, by certified mail, to abutters, as certified
by the Board of Assessors, and the applicant shall provide proof of
such certified notice to the Board of License Commissioners.
In accordance with the provisions of MGL c. 62C, § 49A,
no license or permit shall be issued to any individual or business
operating within the Town unless said applicant has certified in writing,
under the pains and penalties of perjury, that he/she has complied
with all laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts relating to taxes,
including local taxes under the provisions of MGL c. 59. The failure
to properly execute such certification shall be considered grounds
to revoke such license or permit.
