A minimum charge is required for the processing of any initial or renewed license application in such amount as does not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of processing each such application. This charge shall be in addition to the business license tax and shall not be prorated. The charge shall not be refunded if the application is rejected. However, if after receipt of the applicant's written notification of cancellation and no business activity has been transacted or carried on, then in that event, a refund request for all fees paid exceeding the application processing charge may be made pursuant to Section 4.02.200. In no event, however, shall the application processing charge be refunded. The Collector may waive the processing charge in the case of bona fide nonprofit, charitable, or otherwise fee-exempt licensee.
The provisions of this chapter notwithstanding, the following application categories shall pay an application processing charge in an amount established by resolution of the City Council:
A. Initial period application processing charge;
B. Renewal application charge;
C. Amended application processing charge. (Ord. 2764 § 1, 1991).
