B. Renewal: Any person or entity who engages in a business, trade or profession within the City, and who holds a business registration pursuant to this chapter, shall renew said registration on a form provided by the City and accompanied by the appropriate fee prior to January 31 of each year. No new application need be filed if the information required by this chapter, and which is in the possession of the City Clerk, is current. Upon receipt of the form and fee, the City Clerk shall endorse the business registration for the person or entity for the next calendar year.
C.
