(A) Every person or business that intends to operate and conduct business in the city, excepting those persons or entities referenced in §§ 34.059 and 34.060, shall remit an annual non-refundable payment of $50 that shall be payable on or before January 1 of each and every year, together with completion of an application to do business within the city, which upon submission of the payment a business license certificate will be issued to the licensee before or upon commencement of any business activity by the applicant. Licensees are required to notify the city of any changes in address, the cessation of business, or any other changes that render the information supplied to the city in the license application incomplete or inaccurate.
(B) Each year, the city shall issue a business license certificate to each business entity or person engaged in business or an occupation licensed under this chapter. The certificate shall show the year for which it is issued, the name of the business entity to which it is issued, and the address or location of the business entity being licensed, provided that the annual license fee is paid. Each business entity shall maintain the license certificate at its business location in the city, if located in the city.
(C) The city shall withhold issuance of a business license certificate to any business or business entity that has failed to pay all other taxes to the city, including, but not limited to, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, and the like. A business license certificate authorizing the conduct and operation of a business within the City of Midway shall be withheld until payment of all taxes due and owing the city.
