§ 5.90.180. Term and renewal of business license permit.

Each Business License Permit issued pursuant to this Chapter shall be effective for five (5) years after issuance, and shall be renewed upon timely payment of all required licensing fees by the Medical Marijuana Business. The Licensee shall apply for renewal of the Business License Permit at least forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the license. The licensee shall apply for renewal using forms provided by the City Manager. If the Applicant fails to apply for renewal at least forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the License but does apply for renewal prior to expiration of the Business License Permit, the City Manager may process the renewal application if the Applicant submits a late filing fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00) at the time of submittal of the renewal application. The renewal license fee shall be equal to the annual license fee. The renewal fee, and late fee if applicable, shall accompany the renewal application. Such fee is nonrefundable.

In the event a Medical Marijuana Business that has been open and operating, and submitting required business license tax returns and taxes to the City, ceases providing business license returns and taxes to the City for two (2) consecutive reporting periods, the City Manager shall send notice to the Medical Marijuana Business demanding such reporting and payment and if no such reporting and payment is received within fifteen (15) days of the notice, the business license permit shall be deemed to have expired and the licensee shall cease doing business at the location.
