The order shall be mailed by registered mail by the director to the applicant at the address as shown on the application or to the licensee at the address of the premises licensed, as the case may be. The order shall be final and binding on all parties until the order has been appealed as provided for in § 3-2-213 and a decision has been rendered by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
