(A) The annual fee for a sexually oriented business license in an amount set by the City Council and maintained in the city's master fee schedule shall be divided into equal quarterly payments. A quarter shall be a calendar quarter, dividing the year into three-month increments, beginning with January, February and March as the first quarter. Each quarterly payment shall be made with the application submitted prior to operating the sexually oriented business for that quarter. For subsequent quarters, the applicant must resubmit the abbreviated application form, to be provided by the city, at least 30 days before the expiration date of the quarter in which the business is operating. An application shall not be considered to have been filed until the fee is paid and all information required by the application form has been submitted. An inspection under § 154.076 below shall occur after the filing of the abbreviated application form. The fee shall be due regardless of the time of commencement of operations within a given quarter. There shall be no prorating of the required fee for a sexually oriented business that begins operations within a quarterly period.
(B) In addition to the fees required by division (A) above, an applicant for an initial sexually oriented business license shall, at the time of making application, pay a nonrefundable fee in an amount set by the City Council and maintained in the city's master fee schedule for the city to conduct a survey to ensure that the proposed sexually oriented business is in compliance with the locational restrictions set for the § 154.082 below.
(C) The annual fee for an identification card in an amount set by the City Council and maintained in the city's master fee schedule shall be paid upon issuance of the identification card under § 154.073(H) above.
