Before any permit, or renewal of permit, to operate a taxicab or limousine shall be issued, the City Secretary shall examine the tax records and ascertain whether or not the ad valorem taxes assessed by the city against the vehicle and other equipment to be used in the business of the applicant have been fully paid. If the ad valorem taxes have not been paid the City Council shall refuse to issue the applicant such permit or renewal until all of such ad valorem taxes have been paid.
