Division 64. TAXES |
Chapter 64-14. BUSINESS LICENSE TAX |
§ 64-14.408. License fee a tax—Does not permit business otherwise prohibited.
"License," as used in this chapter, does not mean a permit. Any other permits or licenses which are required otherwise than by this chapter remain in effect and are not superseded by this chapter. The fees prescribed by this chapter constitute a tax for revenue purposes, and are not regulatory permit fees. The payment of a license tax required by the provisions of this chapter, and its acceptance by the county, and the issuance of a business license to any person, shall not entitle the holder thereof to carry on any business unless he/she has complied with all of the requirements of this chapter and all other applicable laws, nor to carry on any business in any building or on any premises designated in such license in the event that such building or premises are situated in a zone or locality in which the conduct of such business is in violation of any law.
