A. The provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed or construed to require the payment of a license fee by, or the issuance of a license to, any institution or organization which is conducted, managed or carried on wholly for the benefit of charitable purposes or from which profit is not derived, directly or indirectly by an individual, firm or profit corporation; nor shall the payment of a license fee or the issuance of a license be required for the conducting of any entertainment, concert, exhibition or lecture on scientific, historical, literary, musical, religious or moral subject, whenever the receipt from such is to be appropriated to any church or school or to any religious or benevolent purpose within the county; nor shall the payment of a license fee or the issuance of a license be required for the conducting of any entertainment, dance, concert, exhibition or lecture by any religious, charitable, fraternal, educational, military, state, county or municipal organization or association when the receipts from such are to be appropriated for the purposes and objects for which such association or organization is formed and from which profit is not derived, either directly or indirectly by any individual, firm or profit corporation. Organizers, managers or owners of such exempt event or organization located within the unincorporated areas of the county must register with the business license division. Applicants must attach a copy of the 501(c)(3) exempt status filing with the state of Utah or similar documentation prior to license and fee waiver by the business license administrator. This exemption does not waive the application fee required of any applicant for license or exemption.
B. Organizers, managers or owners of such exempt event or organization located within the unincorporated county must register with the business license division. Proof of exempt status in written form shall be required of the applicant prior to license and fee waiver by the business license administrator.
C. Exemption from business license fees is not an exemption from required registration with the division, code compliance with other state, federal and local codes, nor from payment of other county fees, such as fire, health, zoning, transit, etc., as required.
D. Solicitation for any purpose, including fundraising for charitable causes, is subject to article J, "Solicitors", of this chapter.
E. No licensing fee shall be imposed under this section upon the state of Utah or any of its political subdivisions; nor shall any such fee be imposed upon any person doing business within unincorporated Summit County who has paid a like or similar license fee to some other governmental unit within the state of Utah and has not established a separate branch establishment, nor shall any such fee be imposed upon the business of a bona fide farm or ranch engaged in raising plants and/or animals useful to man unless said business is authorized to collect sales taxes under Utah statute for sales made on such products. Any person requesting an exemption shall be required to apply, in writing, with the business license division. Application fees for either a license or an exemption shall not be exempt.
