4-3-5: APPLICATION FOR LICENSE:

   A.   Prior to the issuance of a license, the applicant shall file with the county clerk a completed application in the form and in the manner prescribed by the county clerk, signed by the applicant and containing information and statements relative to the applicant and the premises (in existence or to be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the county) where the alcoholic beverages are to be sold. The applicant shall certify under penalty of perjury pursuant to the law of the State of Idaho that the contents of the application are true and correct and shall verify his or her identity to the satisfaction of the county clerk or his designee by providing a copy of the applicant's driver's license or other form of government-issued photo identification and through any other additional means that the county clerk or his designee may reasonable rely on. In addition to setting forth the qualifications required by other provisions of this chapter, the applicant must show:

      1.   A detailed description of the premises for which a license is sought, its location and street address.

      2.   The names and addresses of all persons who will have any financial interest in any business to be carried on, in or upon the licensed premises, whether such interest results from open loans, mortgages, conditional sales contracts, trusts or any other basis other than open trade accounts incurred in the ordinary course of business, and the amounts of such interest.

      3.   If the premises to be licensed are not owned by the applicant, then a certified copy of a document showing that the owner consents to the sale of alcoholic beverages on such premises.

      4.   The name and address of the applicant, which shall include all members of a partnership or association, or the officers and members of the governing board and the principal stockholders of a corporation.

   B.   If, during the period of any license issued hereunder, any change shall take place in any of the requirements of this section, the licensee shall forthwith make a verified report of such change to the county clerk.

   C.   Applications for liquor by the drink, retail wine and/or wine by the drink licenses shall include a copy of the beer license issued by the county and by the director of the Idaho state police for the premises and for the time for which the application is made. Applications for a winery license do not require a beer license to sell wine on the winery's original licensed premises or at locations other than the winery's original licensed premises.

   D.   If any false statement is made in any part of an application, or any subsequent report, the applicant, or applicants, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined as provided by Idaho Code, section 18-113 as it may from time to time be amended and/or retitled or imprisoned for not more than thirty (30) days or both.

   E.   Each application shall be accompanied by the required license fee, which shall be returned to the applicant if the board of county commissioners refuses to issue the license.
