or in the event of a change of business status. This application and the fees described apply to entities conducting

business in the City that are classified a local business as defined in Chapter 110 of the Code of Ordinances. Those

businesses which are exempt from paying an annual license fee because their total gross receipts are less than

$25,000.00 are still required to complete the application and pay the one time registration fee if their business is

considered “open to the public” as defined in Chapter 110 of the Code of Ordinances.

2. PAYMENT OF REGISTRATION FEE AND LICENSE FEES:

A one time registration fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) shall be made at the time of application.

Licensees are required to notify the City of any changes in address, the cessation of business, or any other changes

which render the information supplied to the City in the license application inaccurate. In the event the change of

name involves obtaining a new Federal Identification Number (FIN), then a new license registration fee is

required. The following businesses are exempt from the one time registration fee; however, they are required to

pay the applicable fee as listed below:

Transient Business: Shall mean any person who passes through the City temporarily for the purpose of

conducting a business which involves buying, selling or exchanging of goods or services. The activity of a

transient business must not involve regular or routine visits to an established customer base within the City. The

transient business shall pay a daily fee based on the number of employees working in the city. The daily fee shall

be Ten Dollars ($10.00) if there are three employees or less with a minimum fee of One Hundred Twenty-Five

Dollars ($125.00) covering a period of four consecutive days. The daily fee shall be Sixty Dollars ($60.00) if

there are four or more employees with a minimum fee of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) covering a period of

four consecutive days. In addition to the Transient Business License, a separate license is required for door to

door solicitation.

Fixed Fee License: Any person or business engaged in the business of promoting, operating, or

otherwise conducting a flea market, an antique mall consignment shop or farmers market shall pay a yearly

license fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) which shall authorize the activity of individuals utilizing booths or

spaces in these businesses. The annual fee shall be for the period July 1 to June 30 of the following year.

Events License: Any event sponsor is required to purchase an event license prior to the event. Said

license shall be One Hundred Dollar ($100.00) for each event, which shall license all temporary booths, spaces

and vendors.

3. BOND REQUIREMENT: In addition to the registration fee, any person conducting business in the City

that does not meet the definition of a local business may be required to post a cash bond in the amount of $500.00.

The bond will be held until the City deems that all Net Profit License Fee Returns and Employee withholding

requirements have been met.

4. ANNUAL LICENSE FEE: A license fee at the rate of 1 ½% shall apply to income from the operation of

a business or enterprise after providing for all cost and expenses incurred in the conduct thereof (referred to as net

profit). The minimum fee will be $250.00; however, businesses with total gross receipts (either earned inside or

outside the City) of $25,000.00 or less are exempt from paying the annual license fee. The license fee shall

become due April 15 except returns made on the basis of a fiscal year, which shall be made by the fifteenth day of

the fourth month following the close of the fiscal year.
