§ 7-24-2 — License tax imposed by boards of county commissioners

The boards of county commissioners of counties composing local option districts are empowered, by resolution duly adopted, on or before the first day of June of each year to impose an annual, nonprohibitive license tax upon the privileges of persons holding state licenses under the provisions of the Liquor Control Act [60-3A-1 NMSA 1978 et seq.] to operate within such counties, outside of the municipalities that are local option districts, as retailers, dispensers, canopy licensees, restaurant licensees or club licensees. The amount of the license tax, which shall not exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), and the dates and manner of the payment shall be fixed by the resolution imposing the tax; provided, that in case the county permits the payment in installments, no bond shall be required to secure the payment of the deferred installments, but the remedy for the collection shall be that provided in Section 7-24-3 NMSA 1978.
