(A) When proper application has been made, when any required certification has been filed, when any required bond has been posted, and when any required investigation has been completed, the Inspection Department shall issue to the applicant a license or permit certificate and shall preserve a record thereof in his or her own files; provided, however, that no such license or permit certification shall be issued to any applicant who owes a financial debt to the city resulting from the nonpayment of any tax, fee, lien, service charge or other assessment.
(B) Such license or permit certificate shall not be valid until stamped thereon by the city Finance Director showing that the appropriate licensing fee has been paid, except that in cases wherein no payment is required or wherein payment is due at some other time the Licensing Officer shall so endorse in the place provided for such stamp and the license or permit certificate shall then be valid.
