§ 7.04.030. License issuance—Transfer.

All licenses shall be prepared and issued by the business license officer upon the payment of the sum required to be paid under this chapter; and the business license officer in fixing the license fee, shall do so according to the best information and belief, and to that purpose may require any person to file an affidavit as to which tier he or she may belong, and may require a similar affidavit from a member of a copartnership, or an officer of a corporation. Each license so issued shall state upon the face thereof the following:

(1)

The person to whom the same is issued;

(2)

The kind of business license thereby;

(3)

The amount paid therefor;

(4)

The location of such business;

(5)

The date of expiration of such license.

In no case shall any mistake of the business license officer in stating the amount of the license prevent or prejudice the collection by the city of what should be actually due from any person carrying on a trade, calling, profession, or occupation subject to the provisions of this chapter. No license issued shall be transferred without the written consent of the business license officer endorsed thereon. The business license officer shall consent to such transfer where the same business is to be carried on at the same location, by one other than the licensee, or by the licensee at a new location, unless it be a business requiring the approval of the planning commission and/or city council as a prerequisite to engaging therein, in such event the business license officer shall not consent until the required approval has been procured. The fee for transfer of a business license shall be as set from time to time by resolution of the city council.

Upon the payment of the fee as established from time to time by resolution of the city council, the business license officer is authorized to issue a duplicate license to replace a license lost or destroyed.
