Before any license is issued to any person, such person shall make application therefor to the collector. Applicant shall state the name of the party to whom the license is to be issued, the nature of the trade or business to be pursued; the place where such business will be conducted and such other information as may be necessary for the enforcement of the provisions of Chapters
3.40 through
3.96.
(Prior code § 2121; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971)
Upon application being made as provided in Section
3.52.010, and when the applicant has tendered the license tax required, the collector shall process the application. If it is an application for a license for a new business or if he otherwise deems it necessary, he may submit a copy thereof to other departments as appropriate, including the health officer if health and sanitation may be involved, in order to be able to advise the applicant whether the business and premises to be occupied meet the requirements of state law and city ordinances and any other applicable regulations.
(Prior code § 2122; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971)
Whenever it appears to the collector that an application for
a business license involves a proposed business activity for which
other permit or licensing requirements are applicable under local
or state or federal laws, ordinances or regulations before such business
activity could lawfully be conducted in the city or at the particular
location proposed, or involves a proposed business activity which
could not lawfully be conducted in the city or at the particular location
proposed, the collector shall so inform the applicant, and ascertain
whether, in view of such circumstances, the applicant desires to withdraw
the application pending removal of the legal impediments, if such
removal be possible. In the event the applicant nonetheless insists
upon submitting the application, the collector shall accept the proffered
tax payment, and issue a receipt therefor which shall contain language
clearly stating that such receipt is not to be deemed in any way an
official sanction for the conducting of the proposed business. Every
person, corporation, partnership, or association issued a receipt
under the provisions of this Section shall display such receipt in
a prominent place in its business where it is clearly visible to all
members of the public entering the premises.
(Prior code § 2123; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971; Ord. 1811 § 1, 2012; Ord. 1812 §
3, 2012)
Any license issued shall show the following:
(1) The
person to whom the license is issued;
(3) The
kind of business thereby licensed;
(4) Name
and location of such business;
(5) The
amount of the license tax;
(6) The
date of expiration of such license; and
(7) Such
other information as deemed necessary by the collector.
(Prior code § 2124; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971)
A duplicate license may be issued by the collector to replace
any license previously issued hereunder which has been lost or destroyed,
upon the licensee filing a sworn statement as to such fact, and at
the time of filing such statement paying a fee of three dollars.
(Prior code § 2125; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971)
No license issued hereunder shall be transferable; provided,
that where a license is issued for a business at a particular place,
such licensee may upon application therefor and paying a fee of five
dollars, have the license amended to cover the transacting and carrying
on of such business under said license at some other location to which
the business is or is to be moved.
(Prior code § 2126; Ord. 908 § 2, 1971)
