§ 15-40. Conducting business in violation of zoning regulations, building code; general use.

As a prerequisite to paying the business tax, each business entity shall definitely state and set out the exact location at which such business shall be operated. Before initially issuing a business tax receipt it shall be the duty of the business tax division to ascertain through the sustainable development department that the use proposed is permitted at the location proposed. Failure to maintain such compliance will be cause for withdrawal of the business tax receipt. Where a business tax receipt is issued for general use, and the business entity maintains no place of business, the business entity shall complete affidavit that the business complies with all city ordinances. Notwithstanding the issuance of a business tax receipt, no business shall operate in a premises where building code or ordinance violations exist.
