§ 7.04.050. Due date of license fees—Delinquent fee—Separate license for each location.

Unless otherwise specifically provided, all annual license fees, under the provisions of this chapter, shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of July of each year. New businesses which commence operations during the year shall pay a business license fee for the remaining quarters or quarter of the year, whichever is greater. The license fee for any annual business license issued in July, August or September shall be one hundred percent of such fee; for any annual business license issued in October, November or December, seventy-five percent of such fee; for any annual business license issued in January, February or March, fifty percent of such fee; and for any annual business license issued in April, May or June, twenty-five percent of such fee.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, license fees, other than annual, required under this chapter shall be due and payable as follows:

(1)

Semiannual license fees: On the first day of January and the first day of July of each year;

(2)

Quarterly license fees: On the first day of January, April, July and October of each year;

(3)

Monthly license fees: On the first of each and every month; and

(4)

Daily license fees: Each day in advance. Any portion of a day shall be deemed a whole day.

Any license fee provided for in this chapter (except daily license fees) shall become delinquent thirty days after the date it is due and payable. Daily license fees are deemed delinquent if not paid a day in advance.

For failure to pay a license fee before delinquency, the business license officer shall add a late fee equal to twenty-five percent of the license fee, which shall be due and payable the day following the delinquency date, and there shall be added to the license fee and late fee interest at the rate of six percent per year from the date of delinquency until payment is received by the business license officer.

A separate license must be obtained for each branch establishment or separate place of business in which the business described in such license is carried on, and such license shall authorize the carrying on of such business only at the location designated.
