(a) Any person holding a license or permit may, except as otherwise provided in the Codified Ordinances, apply to the issuing authority to have such license or permit assigned to another person or transferred to another premises, for the unexpired term thereof; provided, that no assignment or transfer shall be made of any license or permit which is personal in its nature. No transfer to another premises shall be made without prior certification by an officer whose certification was required in the first instance.
(b) For each such assignment or transfer a certificate fee shall be charged, and in addition thereto, a certification fee of one dollar ($1.00) shall be charged for each new certification required. No license or permit which has been suspended or revoked shall be assignable or transferable. On each assignment or transfer, a new certificate shall be issued and the old certificate shall be filed with its original record.
