A. Applications for new business licenses must be accompanied by an application fee as set forth in Chapter 5.08, Business License Fees and Bonding Schedules, in addition to the required base, variable and/or regulatory fees.

B. The base fees are categorized in the business license fee and bonding schedules by type of business. The definition of each type of business and the specific regulations governing them are found in this title. If a particular type of business is not listed in the business license fee and bonding schedules, then its base fee shall be the general business license base fee as set forth in the business license fee and bonding schedules.

C. The variable and regulatory fees for each business, regardless of whether it is defined in this chapter, are set forth in the business license fee and bonding schedules.

D. If, for any reason, the license application is not granted or withdrawn, the applicant may request a refund. If the application is withdrawn or denied before any inspection is conducted, the license administrator will refund seventy-five percent of the fees paid. If the application is withdrawn or denied after an inspection is conducted, the license administrator will refund twenty-five percent of the fees paid. (Ord. 2015-10 § 1 (Exh.
