The application is incomplete or inaccurate;

(2)

The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing by a person or location for which a suspension is in effect under Section 445-10.018;

(3)

The application seeks authorization for tobacco retailing that is an unlawful use of land, building or structure contrary to Divisions 82 or 84 of this code.

(4)

Failure to pay an outstanding fine.

(b)

Each licensee must prominently display the tobacco retailer's license at the location where tobacco retail sales are conducted.

(c)

The tobacco retailer's license is nontransferable. If there is a change in location, a new tobacco retailer's license will be issued for the new address upon receipt of an application for change of location. The new tobacco retailer's license will retain the same expiration date as the previous one.
