A zoning certificate shall be required for all lawful nonconforming uses of land or buildings created by adoption of the Zoning Ordinance. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Inspector to notify and issue a certificate for a lawful nonconforming use to the owner or tenant. Refusal of the Zoning Inspector to issue a certificate for such nonconforming use shall be evidence that the nonconforming use was either illegal or did not lawfully exist at the effective date of the Zoning Ordinance. A zoning certificate for a nonconforming use shall not be transferred to another owner or lessee.
