Sec. 12-9. - Renewal of licenses.
   (a)   The city clerk shall send a notice of renewal to all affected departments at least 45 days prior to the expiration of any license. Upon receipt of fees, the city clerk shall issue all renewal licenses immediately unless refusal is requested in writing by affected city departments. The clerk shall then correspond with the licensee concerning such refusal in accord with suspension and revocation provisions of this chapter. An application for renewal will not be considered a renewal if there has been a change in business or owner.
   (b)   If a licensee who is not actively engaged in the occupation for which a license was issued desires to obtain an escrow license for the annual fee in lieu of a regular annual license, the licensee shall so respond upon receipt of the notice of renewal. The city clerk shall renew such escrow licenses on an annual basis if requested by the licensee. If an individual with as [an] escrow license desires to activate the escrow license on a single occasion during the escrow license period, one-half of the regular fee shall be paid to the city clerk. If the escrow licensee desires to perform services under the authority of a regular license on more than one occasion during the license period, the full license fee shall be paid. An escrow license may be renewed for up to five continuous years without the applicant/licensee required to take additional instruction or a competitive test, unless required by state law.
