Every person, firm, association or corporation who engages in, exercises or pursues a business, profession, trade, occupation or privilege for which a license is required, at or from more than one place in the city, or who engages in, exercises or pursues more than one such business, profession, trade, occupation or privilege, shall pay the fee, and secure a separate license for each such place or for each such business, profession, trade, occupation or privilege. (1989 Code § 9-104)
A. Tax: It is unlawful for any person, firm, association or corporation to engage in, exercise or pursue any business, profession, trade, occupation or privilege for which a license tax is levied by this chapter or by any other ordinance or ordinance provision without paying the license tax, and securing and possessing a valid license therefor. Upon making proper application to the city clerk, the payment of the license tax and fulfillment of any other condition which may be prescribed by law and/or ordinance, the city clerk shall issue a license therefor. Such license taxes shall be credited to the general fund of the city.
B. Term: Annual licenses shall expire on April 30 of the year for which they are issued. When an annual license is issued after May 1 for the remainder of the year to a person, firm, association or corporation just beginning to engage in, exercise or pursue a business, profession, trade occupation or privilege, the tax collected shall be a fractional part of the annual tax equal to the fraction of the year remaining, in an amount such as established by resolution of the city council. (1989 Code § 9-103; amd. 2002 Code)
Every holder of a license to engage in, exercise or pursue a business, profession, trade, occupation or privilege, shall conspicuously display the license at all times in some part of his place of business or activity where a person who has entered the place may readily see it; or, if he has no particular place of business or activity, shall carry the license and shall display it to any person who requests to see it. However, in lieu of the above manner of displaying such licenses, when licenses are required for coin-operated music or amusement devices, vending machines, and similar devices and equipment, the license may be placed on or attached to such device or equipment in such position and manner that it will be clearly visible; and shall be so placed or attached if the license so states on its face. It is unlawful to fail or refuse to display the license as required in this section. (1989 Code § 9-105)
