No license shall be granted for a lesser period nor for a longer period than one year, unless specific provision shall elsewhere be made in this chapter for the issuance of a license for a period of less than one year, and every license shall expire on the first Tuesday in May next following its issuance, unless otherwise specifically provided in this chapter. The fee for each license issued shall be collected in full at the time of issuance and delivery thereof, unless specific provisions to the contrary be otherwise made in this chapter; provided, that if application be made after the month of May in any year, the sum required to be paid shall bear the same ratio to the sum required for the whole year, that the number of months remaining (inclusive of the month in which application is made) bears to the whole number of months in the year; provided, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply in the case of any person or corporation who shall engage in any business or occupation without first procuring a license. And any person or corporation who shall engage in any business or occupation for which a license is required by any section of this title without first procuring such license shall be required to pay the full annual license fee. In no event shall any rebate or refund be made of any license fee or part thereof, by reason of the death of the licensee, for the purpose of conducting any business or occupation required by the licensee, or by reason of nonuse of such license, or by reason of the change of location or occupation of such licensee, unless the same is specifically provided by ordinance.
