SEC. 22.04.1. FAILURE TO PAY FEE DUE UNDER ARTICLE 1 OF THIS CHAPTER.
Whenever under any provision of this Code a regulatory permit is required for the conduct of any business or occupation upon which a business tax is imposed by Article 1 of this chapter, or upon which a parking occupancy tax is imposed by Article 1.15 of this chapter, the failure to pay that business tax or parking occupancy tax will be grounds for the suspension or revocation of the permit, but the procedure outlined in Section 22.02 shall be followed. (Amended by Ord. No. 180,488, Eff. 3/7/09.)
No person whose permit or certificate has been revoked or suspended pursuant to Section 22.02, or pursuant to any other provision of this Code, shall engage in or carry on any business or do any act permitted to be done pursuant to such permit or certificate during the period of suspension or after revocation thereof, until a new permit or certificate shall have been granted.
No person shall make any false, misleading or fraudulent statement or misrepresent any fact in any application for a permit or in any notice or record required to be filed with any Board, Commission or other authorized person of this City. In addition to any other penalties provided in this Code, such conduct shall be grounds for suspending or revoking any permit issued to such person.
(Amended by Ord. No. 173, 587, Eff. 12/7/00.)
(a) (Amended by Ord. No. 127,508, Eff. 6/29/64.) Every honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine of the United States who is unable to obtain their livelihood by manual labor shall have the right to hawk, peddle and vend any goods, wares or merchandise, except spirituous, malt, vinous, mixed or other intoxicating liquors, without payment of any license or fees required by this code or ordinance of this city providing for the payment of such license fee. A certificate of disability by a surgeon of the United States Army or Navy, or by the police surgeon of this city, or any physician regularly employed in the receiving hospital of this city, shall be sufficient proof of such disability. A certificate of honorable discharge from the United States Army or Navy, or an exemplified copy thereof, shall be sufficient proof of such service and honorable discharge, and upon presentation of the same it shall be the duty of the Office of Finance to issue a license without cost to such a soldier, sailor or marine.
The fact that Section 22.11 exempts a person from having to pay for a license does not excuse one from obtaining a license.
People v. Fitzgerald, CR A 1942.
