Sec. 42-1. - Nonissuance and nonrenewal of licenses or permits to applicants or licensees in arrears in taxes, liens and assessments.#
(a)
No license or permit issued by the town and required for the operation of a business shall be issued or renewed to any person or applicant who is in arrears for the payment of any local taxes, liens or other assessments applicable to the operation of such business, unless the matter has been duly appealed in a timely fashion to a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)
No building permit shall be issued for new construction and/or the renovation or alteration of an existing structure if the property owner is in arrears for the payment of any real property tax, lien or other town assessment on real property unless the matter has been duly appealed in a timely fashion to a court of competent jurisdiction. This section shall apply only to that real property which is the subject of the building permit application. This section shall not apply to construction which serves to abate a pending notice of violation issued by the town or any of its officials and/or representatives.
(c)
The applicant seeking any license or permit or any renewal thereof must submit, with his application, verification from the proper tax or assessment collection agency of the town that all town taxes, liens and assessments are paid to date, such verification to be submitted with the application to the town council.
