A. No person shall engage in any business, trade, profession or calling of any kind having a fixed or transitory situs within the city, for any period of time without first having obtained a license therefor, which license shall be granted and issued by the finance director and shall be in full force and effect until revoked.

B. Such license shall be granted only upon the submittal of an application stating the name and address of the person desiring such license, the name and nature of the business, the location, including the street number, of such business, and such other facts as may be reasonably required by the finance director.

C. If an application for a license is submitted by an individual or business which previously held a license, the finance director may require that any taxes, penalties and interest due under the previous license be paid and a bond posted in an amount set by the finance director to ensure payment of taxes under the new license prior to the issuance of such new license.
