License required.

Henderson Municipal Code § 4.04.020

in effect

4.04.020 - License required. A. It shall be a violation of the provisions of this title and unlawful for any person to commence, carry on, engage in or continue in the city any business without first obtaining a license and paying the appropriate license fee as provided by terms and provisions of this title. B. A license shall only be issued if the applicant has a fixed place of business from which the business will be conducted, unless this title specifically states otherwise. Once issued a license, the licensee shall not engage in business from any other premises other than the premises for which the license was issued. C. No licensee engaged in business within the city limits of the city shall allow the license of any other business to be displayed, i.e., "hang," at the licensee's premises. For purposes of this subsection, a license "hang" is defined as using the address of a licensed business as the business address of another business not actually licensed to operate at the licensed location. D. Upon the filing of a complete and accurate business license application and the payment of all required fees, the applicant may be issued either a permanent or a temporary business license by the division. A permanent license will be issued provided that the requirements of all appropriate federal, state, county and municipal laws and regulations have been met and that all specific requirements of all departments of the city have been met and properly approved. A temporary business license for a business license type not subject to the provisions of chapter 4.03 may be issued and if issued shall permit the applicant to engage in business at the location designated on the license for a period of up to, but not to exceed, 60 days, within which all inspections and requirements imposed upon the applicant by the various departments or divisions of the city are to be complied with. Upon the recommendation by the various departments or divisions within the city, the division shall have the discretion to extend such temporary business license for a period of an additional 60 days. It shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant to schedule all follow-up inspections necessary to comply with all the requirements and corrections. Should the applicant fail to meet the requirements as set forth by the departments or divisions of the city within the maximum prescribed time limit of 120 days (or 60 days if no extension was granted), the temporary license shall no longer be valid. Continued operation of the business, once the temporary business license is invalid, shall constitute a violation of this title, and the business shall be subject to legal action as prescribed by this title, the penalties for which are described in section 4.04.230. A license that is deemed invalid may not be reinstated. E. The address of a commercial mail receiving agency ("CMRA") may be used for the mailing address of a business not owned and operated by the owner(s) of said CMRA, but must not be represented or held out to be the physical location of such business. A designation of "suite," "number," "room," "apartment (apt.)" or any similar designation so as to lead a reasonable and prudent person to believe that the address is the physical location of the business shall not be used. The owner or operator of a CMRA shall keep on file the Form 1583 as required by the United States Postal Service and shall make the same available to the director, his designee or an officer of the business operations division upon request. F. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or operator of the CMRA to inform any and all clients of the above requirement. G. Licenses may be issued to businesses proposed to be located in properly licensed executive suites or shared office establishments. It shall be the responsibility of the owner/operator of the executive suites or shared office establishment to obtain, maintain, and produce upon request by the city the records on each tenant of said business, including but not limited to a credit application, an application that includes identifying information regarding the names and residential addresses of each owner or corporate officer, a completed postal service Form 1583 (if mail service is part of the services provided), and a completed and signed service contract or service agreement between the licensed executive suites or shared office business and the proposed business. Failure to provide the requested business information as required in this subsection constitutes a violation of the provisions of this title. (Ord. No. 3290, § 1, 10-6-2015)
