Title 21 - Licenses
Chapter 407a - Closing-Out Sales
Section 21-35d. - Municipal license.
Before selling under the state closing-out sale license prescribed in section 21-35b in any town, city or borough, each person conducting a closing-out sale shall make application for a municipal closing-out sale license to the selectmen or other authority of such town, city or borough authorized to issue licenses therein; and, unless the fee therefor is fixed as herein provided, shall file with them a true statement, under oath, of the average quantity and value of the stock of goods, wares and merchandise kept or intended to be kept or exposed by such person for sale. Such selectmen or other authority shall submit such statement to the assessors of the town, who, after such examination and inquiry as they deem necessary, shall determine such average quantity and value, and shall forthwith transmit a certificate thereof to such selectmen or other authority. Thereupon such selectmen or other authority shall authorize the town clerk, upon the payment by the applicant of a fee equal to the taxes assessable in such town, city or borough under the last-preceding tax levy therein upon an amount of property of the same valuation, to issue to such person a municipal closing-out sale license authorizing such closing-out sale in such municipality. Such authority may authorize the issue of such municipal closing-out sale license without the filing of such statement, upon the payment of a municipal closing-out sale license fee fixed by it. Upon payment of such fee, such town clerk shall issue such municipal closing-out sale license, which shall remain in force as long as the licensee continuously keeps and exposes for sale in such municipality such stock of goods, wares or merchandise, but not later than the first day of October following its date.
