§ 4-52. Expiration; renewal.

(a)

All licenses granted under this division shall expire on December 31 of each year. A licensee who desires to renew the license shall file application, with the requisite fee heretofore provided, with the finance department on the form provided for renewal of the license for the ensuing year. All applications for renewal will be reviewed by the finance department. Licensees do not have a right to automatic renewal and must be in compliance with all rules and regulations for the granting of licenses. Applications for renewal must be filed before November 30 of each year; otherwise penalties and interest will be assessed. No renewal license shall be granted after December 31, but such application shall be treated as an initial application and the applicant shall be required to comply with all rules and regulations for the granting of licenses as if no previous license had been held.

(b)

All licenses granted under this division shall be for the full calendar year or for the number of months remaining in the calendar year. License fees shall be prorated based on the number of months remaining in the calendar year; partial months shall be counted as a full month. License fees are not refundable.

(c)

Any person renewing any license issued under this division who pays the required fee or any portion thereof after the date set by law for such payment shall pay, in addition to the annual fee, a late-payment penalty in addition to an assessment of interest at the rate specified by section 2-112.

(d)

Failure to fully complete the renewal application, as required by the finance department will delay the renewal. The failure to furnish complete information within thirty (30) days after being requested shall result in automatic denial of the renewal.
