A. 
Unless otherwise exempt under the provisions of this chapter, it is unlawful for a person to transact and carry on a business, trade, profession, calling or occupation in the city without a license from the city for this purpose and without paying the license tax prescribed in this chapter, or without complying with all applicable provisions of this chapter.
B. 
Unless otherwise exempt under the provisions of this chapter or Chapter 5.12 PMC, it is also unlawful for a person to transact business within the city without a business permit as required by Chapter 5.12 PMC.
C. 
This section shall not be construed to require a person to obtain a license before doing business in the city if such requirement conflicts with applicable statutes of the United States or of the state.
(Ord. 965 § 1, 1989; Ord. 04-1219 § 4, 2004; Ord. 08-1309 § 9, 2008)
A separate license must be obtained for each branch establishment or location of the business engaged in, as if each such branch establishment or location were a separate business, and each license shall authorize the licensee to engage only in the business licensed thereby at the location and in the manner designated in such license. However, a warehouse and distributing plant used in connection with and incidental to a business licensed under this chapter is not considered a separate place of business or branch establishment.
(Ord. 965 § 1, 1989)
When a person advertises, holds out or represents that he is in business in the city, or when a person holds an active license or permit issued by a governmental agency indicating that he is in business in the city, and such person fails to deny, by a sworn statement given to the director of finance, that he is not conducting a business in the city, after being requested to do so by the director of finance, then these facts shall be considered prima facie evidence that he is conducting a business in the city.
(Ord. 965 § 1, 1989)
