No person shall engage in business as an auctioneer or conduct an auction
in the Village without first obtaining a license therefor.
A.
Basic fee. A basic annual fee of $25 is required as a
condition precedent to the granting of an auctioneer's license.
B.
Additional fee. A fee of $25, in addition to the basic
fee, shall be due and payable for each and every day during which a licensed
auctioneer conducts an auction or acts as an auctioneer. Such payment shall
be made to the Treasurer on or before the next business day following such
auction at his office in the Municipal Building.
In any sale by virtue of the foreclosure of a chattel mortgage, conditional sales contract or lien of any kind or sale by order of a creditors' committee, instead of the fee prescribed in § 138-13B, a fee of $5 shall be required with payment thereof to be made to the Village Treasurer within 24 hours following such sale.
Sections 138-12 and 138-13 of this article notwithstanding, no fee shall be required to be paid for a permit to conduct an auction directed to be held within the Village by the order of any court of competent jurisdiction or for a permit to a church or charitable, veterans, fraternal or religious organization to conduct an auction, the proceeds of which are to be devoted solely to the purposes of such organization.
