From and after January 1, 1982, no person, firm or corporation shall engage in or carry on any business, occupation, act or privilege for which a tax is imposed by CEMC Section 5.04.040 without first having obtained, and being the holder of a license so to do, to be known as an occupation license. Each said person, firm or corporation shall promptly apply to the city clerk for such license upon such forms as the clerk shall prescribe, giving such information as the clerk shall deem reasonably necessary to enable the clerk’s office to administer and enforce this chapter and, upon acceptance of such application by the clerk, the clerk shall thereupon issue the license to the applicant. The occupation license shall be personal and nontransferable and shall be valid as long as the licensee shall continue in said business and shall comply with this chapter. The occupation license required under this chapter is separate from, and in addition to, the business license that may be required under CEMC Chapter 5.02, when applicable.
