Every licensee shall pay the following fees before a license shall be issued:
1. For one day or any part thereof — $25.00
2. For more than one day up to one week — $10.00 per day
3. For one week — $50.00
4. For more than one week but not more than one month — $25.00 per week and $10.00 for any day or fraction thereof
5. For one month — $100.00
6. For longer than one month — all fees shall be computed by first computing the monthly fee, then the weekly fee, then the daily fee and the sum of these fees shall be the fee charged.
Before a license under this chapter is issued, each applicant shall post a bond of $500.00 with the Clerk. Such bond shall be conditioned to indemnify and pay the City for any penalties or costs occasioned by the enforcement of this chapter and shall not be retired until after a lapse of six months from the expiration of each license. In addition, each applicant for a transient merchant’s license shall provide to the City Administrator evidence that the applicant has filed a bond with the Secretary of State in accordance with Chapter 9C of the Code of Iowa.
Each solicitor or peddler shall keep such license in possession at all times while doing business in the City and shall, upon the request of prospective customers, exhibit the license as evidence of compliance with all requirements of this chapter. Each transient merchant shall display publicly such merchant’s license in the merchant’s place of business.
On surrender of any license before the expiration of the full period for which it was issued, the licensee may apply for a rebate of the fee from the Clerk. Determination of the amount of the rebate shall be made by deducting from the fee paid the amount payable when computed on a monthly, weekly and daily basis from the first day the license was issued. The balance, if any, shall be refunded.
