[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council of the Township
of Brick 3-14-2023 by Ord. No. 3-23. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to require the owner of a business,
owner of a rental unit or units, and the owner of a multifamily home
of four or fewer units, one of which is owner-occupied, to obtain
a mercantile license from the Township, in order to ensure compliance
with N.J.S.A. 40A:10A-1 et seq. (liability insurance requirements)
and to provide for a contact in the event of an emergency.
Hereafter, any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other
entity engaging in, conducting or operating any business, rental units,
or multifamily home of four or fewer units, one of which is owner-occupied,
within the limits of the Township of Brick, shall be required to obtain
a mercantile license for any such business. Independent contractors
who work in a business operation that is already obligated to obtain
a license under this chapter, such as a cosmetologist in a salon,
shall be exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
A.
The license fee for each mercantile establishment shall be $25 per
year.
B.
The term of a license shall be one calendar year from the date of
issuance.
C.
The fee for the annual renewal of a license shall be $25. Failure
to renew a license prior to its expiration shall result in a loss
of license and shall require a new application.
Applications for mercantile licenses shall be filed with the
Code Enforcement Office. The application shall be filed on a form
provided by the Township, which shall include i) the name and address
of the owner or business; ii) the type of business; and iii) contact
information for a representative of the business to be used in case
of emergency. Each application shall also include a copy of the certificate
of insurance required by N.J.S.A. 40A:10A-2.
No license granted under this chapter shall be assignable or
transferable to any other person, firm, corporation, partnership or
other entity. If a business is sold or transferred, the new owner
must file a new application for a license. If a licensee desires to
move the license from one location to another, the licensee must first
inform the Township.
Any existing business governed by this chapter shall apply for
a license by December 31, 2023. Any new business shall apply for a
license within 30 days of opening.
Any person who violates one or more of the provisions of this
chapter shall be subject to a fine of not more than $100 for each
violation.
