Review of Town Fees Charged: Clarification on the fee for a six month

month license is $10.00. Per State Statute, the fee for a six month
license shall be one-half the cost of a normal Class “B” license for
one year.
Therefore, it was the consensus of the Board that the cost of the
upcoming six month license will be $5.00 plus the required publishing
fees.
Fees and ordinances in our Ordinance Book will be reviewed and
revised as needed.
