ARTICLE I. BUSINESS LICENSE TAX IN GENERAL; ADMINISTRATION

Sec. 14-4. Duty of applicant to ascertain zoning.

It shall be the duty of every person applying for a business license or for the transfer of a business license from one location to another or from one person to another to ascertain whether the location for the conducting of such business, trade or occupation is properly zoned and has any necessary use permit before making application for such business license as may be required. The commissioner of the revenue, in any case where he suspects the location is not properly zoned for the type of business, trade or occupation proposed by the application, shall refuse to issue such business license until a certificate is issued by the zoning administrator stating that the location is properly zoned and the necessary use permit, if any, has been granted. The issuance of a business license by the commissioner shall not be deemed to be approval by the county of zoning compliance.
