SEC. 103.05. OVERLAPPING BUSINESS.
 
   If any person shall engage in, manage, conduct, or carry on at the same time more than one of the businesses for which a permit from the Board is required, such person shall comply with all of the provisions affecting such businesses.
 
 
SEC. 103.06. PERMITS – DURATION.
   (Amended by Ord. No. 175,676, Eff. 1/11/04.)
 
   A permit issued by the Board shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
 
 
SEC. 103.06.1. PERMITS – RENEWAL.
   (Added by Ord. No. 175,676, Eff. 1/11/04.)
 
   A request for an annual permit renewal must be accompanied by a completed renewal form.
 
   Any change or alteration in the nature or operation of the business will require the renewal to be reviewed by the Board. Any changed circumstance, which would have been grounds for denial of the application, suspension or revocation of the permit, is grounds for denying the permittee a renewed permit. Denial of a renewal permit under this section shall proceed in accordance with the procedures set out in Sections 103.32 and 103.33.
 
 
SEC. 103.06.2. TEMPORARY PERMITS.
   (Amended by Ord. No. 176,066, Eff. 8/8/04)
 
   The Board may issue a temporary permit upon the acceptance of a complete application pursuant to Section 103.02.1(d) pending its action on an application. A temporary permit shall expire upon the Board’s action on the application or the withdrawal of the application by the applicant.
 
   The Board may also issue a temporary permit if a permittee or applicant seeks judicial review pursuant to Section 103.34.2. Within ten business days after the Board mails its final decision, the permittee may file a written application to the Board for a temporary permit pending judicial review. Within seven business days of acceptance of the application, the Board shall render its decision. If required to do so by law, the Board shall grant the temporary permit. This temporary permit shall expire when a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final decision in the litigation. In addition to any other grounds to suspend or revoke a temporary permit, the Board may revoke a temporary permit if the permittee fails to diligently pursue the judicial action.
 
   In the event the Board denies an application for a temporary permit pending judicial review or the permittee rejects the board’s proposed conditions, the original permit shall expire no sooner than 38 days from the mailing of the Board’s action.
 
   In issuing any temporary permit, the Board may impose conditions upon the permit as the Board finds necessary to assure the preservation of the public health and safety.
 
 
SEC. 103.07. PERMITS – ANNUAL FEE.
 
   (a)   Annual Police Permit Fee – Payable. The annual police permit fees required by this article for existing police permits shall become due and payable each year during the two months next preceding the first day of January of the calendar year for which annual police permit fee is paid. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)
 
   (b)   Late Filing – Discretion of Board. The Board may, in its discretion, authorize the acceptance of an annual police permit fee paid within 15 days after the annual police permit is due if the Board finds that the failure to pay said fee within the time allowed was due to inadvertence or excusable neglect. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)
 
   (c)   Late Filing – Veterans. Whenever a person who previously held a permit but failed to pay the prescribed fee within the time provided, shows to the satisfaction of the Board that the person’s failure to pay such fee within the time provided herein resulted from the person’s induction or entrance into the armed forces of the United States, or of any allied nation, and that the application for a permit is made within six months after the applicant’s honorable discharge from the service, the annual police permit fee only shall be charged thereof. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)
 
   (d)   Late Filing – Effect. If the annual police permit fee is not received within the time allowed in Subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section, the permit shall terminate and the former permittee shall cease engaging in the trade, business or occupation for which the permit was required. Application for a new permit may be made as set forth in this article.
 
   The application shall be considered as an original application for a permit and the fee shall be that prescribed for the issuance of an original permit. (Amended by Ord. No. 143,868, Eff. 10/23/72.)
 
   (e)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a), annual police permit fees, except those owed by Firearms Vendors and Firearms Salespersons required by this article to be paid for the year 2021 shall become due and payable on June 30, 2021. (Amended by Ord. No. 187,119, Eff. 8/7/21.)
 
 
SEC. 103.08. PERMITS NON-TRANSFERABLE.
   (Amended by Ord. No. 175,676, Eff. 1/11/04.)
 
   A permit issued by the Board may not be sold, transferred, or assigned by any permittee or by operation of law, to any other person, group, partnership, corporation, or any other entity. Any sale, transfer, or assignment or attempted sale, transfer, or assignment shall be deemed to constitute a voluntary surrender of the permit and the permit shall thereafter be null and void. A permit held by a corporation or partnership or other business entity is subject to the same rules of transferability as stated above. A new permit shall be required for a transfer of stock that causes a change in the controlling interest in a corporate permittee, and for a change in the majority ownership of a partnership or other legal entity, whether by sale, exchange or other means.
 
 
SEC. 103.09. PERMIT FOR EACH LOCATION.
   (Amended by Ord. No. 175,676, Eff. 1/11/04.)
 
   A permit issued by the Board is valid only for the address or location specified on the permit.
