ORANGE COUNTY
RESOLUTION to Provide a Grace Period for Registration or Renewal of an
Orange County Beverage License through July 15 , 2020
Whereas , the novel coronavirus disease-2019 ( COVID - 19 ) is a disease spreading across
the globe causing flu- like symptoms , but with a significantly higher rate of death , particularly
among those who are elderly or medically vulnerable ; and
Whereas , on March 10 , 2020 , in order to address and mitigate the threat of COVID - 19 to
vulnerable populations and to slow the spread of COVID - 19 in North Carolina, Governor Roy
Cooper declared a state of emergency in North Carolina ; and
Whereas , on March 25 , 2020 Orange County issued a Stay-At-Home Order effective
March 27 , 2020 in order to slow the further spread of COVID - 19 ; and
Whereas , under North Carolina General Statute 105 -236 (a) (2) if a business fails to
renew a license timely a penalty equal to five percent of the amount prescribed for the license per
month or fraction thereof until paid, not to exceed twenty-five percent of the amount so
prescribed, but not be less than five dollars shall be assessed; and
Whereas , on March 31 , 2020 Governor Roy Cooper expanded the North Carolina Tax
Penalty Relief from March 15 , 2020 through July 15 , 2020 , which includes relief from the
penalties for failing to obtain a license pursuant to G . S . 105 -236 ( a) (2) . Therefore, the North
Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission will not asses penalties for failure to obtain a
license that is due on March 15 , 2020 through July 15 , 2020 , if the corresponding license is
obtained on or before July 15 , 2020 ; and
Whereas , a requirement of obtaining and Orange County Beverage License is first
obtaining a beverage license from the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission,
making a corresponding grace period a necessary action .
NOW , THEREFORE , IT IS RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF ORANGE COUNTY THAT the request for a corresponding grace
period for the registration and renewal of Orange County Beverage Licenses through July 15 ,
2020 is approved .
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the foregoing resolution was passed by the
