(A) Establishment. Within any limits established by law, the City Council shall, by ordinance, establish the fee for each kind of license.
(B) Pro rata fees. If a license is issued for less than a full calendar year, the fee shall be one-twelfth of the annual fee for each month or fraction of a month for which the license is issued. The City Council may, by ordinance, fix a minimum pro rata fee.
(C) Payment. An applicant shall pay the license fee in full at the time application is made for a license. If an application is rejected, the Clerk/Treasurer shall refund the amount paid, unless the City Council, in rejecting the license, orders that the fee or a portion of it be retained from an applicant making a false statement in or concerning an application or from an applicant ineligible to receive a license.
