For each license obtained between October first and April first the full tax for one (1) year shall be paid, and for each license obtained between April first and September thirtieth, one-half the full tax for one (1) year shall be paid. B. Any license may be transferred with the approval of the City Manager or his/her designee when there is a bona fide sale and transfer of the business and the property used and employed therein as stock in trade, and not otherwise. Such transfer shall be made within thirty (30) days after such bona fide sale has taken place. If the provisions of this section are not strictly and completely complied with in every respect, the license pertaining to the business shall be null and void and of no further effect. Such transfer shall take effect upon payment of a transfer fee of three dollars ($3.00) and after presentation of evidence of both the sale and of the original license. C.

No license shall be issued or granted to any applicant to engage in the business of selling merchandise at retail or wholesale or the practice or pursuit of any profession or occupation, coming within any of the categories set forth in this Ordinance, unless and until the applicant shall first obtain an occupational license from Dade County and show proof thereof to the City.

(5) The names and addresses of corporate officers. B. The affidavit shall be filed with the City. C. On a annual basis, prior to renewal, the City will send out a questionnaire and will require all licensee's to fill in the appropriate information in order for the City to update their files and determine the correct amount to charge as a license fee. Section 4. License not to protect licensee in court proceedin.qs. No license shall be granted until there has been full compliance with Section 3 and no license which may have been granted without full and complete compliance with the provisions of this article shall be a protection to the applicant in any civil or criminal proceeding.

C. No person shall engage in or manage any business, profession or occupation without first obtaining from the city a license for each separate location in the city, and paying the amount set forth in this Ordinance.

A license shall be required to cover each and every business advertised by sign, newspaper, magazine or otherwise; and such advertisement shall be considered evidence of conducting business advertised and shall be a sufficient predicate for conviction by the court or other enforcement authority. Such license shall be issued to cover each and every location of such business; and that the assessment and amount of such license taxes are hereby classified and fixed, per annum unless otherwise specified. E. Any person who violates any provisions of this ordinance shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine not to exceed $500 or imprisonment in the County jail not to exceed sixty (60) days or both such fine and imprisonment.
