A. Prepayment Of Fee Required: All license applications and license renewal applications shall be accompanied by the full amount of the fee payable for such license as provided in section 3-1-22 of this chapter. If a license cannot be issued at the time when the application is made, then the Village Manager shall issue a receipt to the applicant for the money paid in advance. All such receipts shall have plainly indicated thereon that the receipt of payment of the license fee is not to be construed as the issuance of a license. No such receipt, and no payment of any license fee in advance of the issuance of the license, shall entitle or authorize any person to any of the privileges conferred by the issuance of any license or to the opening or maintaining of any business, activity or occupation contrary to any provision of this Code. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993; amd. Ord. 2012-10-861, 10-1-2012)
B. Proration: In the case of licenses issued on an annual basis, a license for the balance of the year will be issued on or after July 1 of any year for one-half (1/2) of the annual fee as provided herein. When such a license is issued at any time before July 1 of any year, the entire annual fee shall be required.
C. No Refunds Or Rebates: No license fee, or part thereof, shall be refunded or rebated by reason of the death or departure of the licensee, the nonuse of the license, discontinuance of the business, activity or occupation for which the license was granted, change of location or occupation of the licensee, or suspension or revocation of the license.
D. Refund If Denial: Whenever a license or the renewal of a license is not approved, the license fee paid in advance, if any, shall be refunded to the applicant. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993)
