City beer and wine taxes must increase by 10% for each additional license of the same type issued to the same taxpayer for use at a separate location.  Furthermore, G.S. 105-236 applies penalties for failure to pay for and obtain local beer and wine license taxes.  Operating a business without the required privilege license triggers a monthly penalty of 5 % of the applicable privilege license tax, up to a total of 25 %. Failure to pay the required tax triggers a separate 10% penalty.  These violations are also Class 1 misdemeanors.
