§ 1.32.040. Failure to obtain or exceeding limits of license or permit—Grounds for suspension, revocation or denial.

A.

Whenever this Code requires that a permit or license be obtained before an activity may be commenced or conducted, any person who commences or conducts such activity without first obtaining the required and appropriate license or permit shall be deemed in violation of the provisions of this Code. Such violation may constitute a ground for denial of an application for a license or permit governing that specific activity. The use of premises, amusement machines, games or devices licensed or permitted pursuant to this Code for other than their intended use or not in compliance with the license or permit issued shall constitute grounds for revocation or suspension of the license.

B.

No person, whether as principal, agent, clerk, employee, partner or otherwise, either for himself or herself or any other person, or for any body corporate, or as an officer of any corporation, or otherwise, shall commence or carry on any business, trade, calling, profession or occupation for which a license is required by this Code without first having procured such license; and such person shall comply with all of the applicable requirements or provisions of this Code.

C.

Any person engaged in a business or activity in an unincorporated territory or in another incorporated area which is annexed to the City shall obtain a City business or other license, if required by this Code, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of annexation.
