Payment of business license taxes is a requirement, not a license, to transact and carry on any business activity within this City. The business license tax receipt is evidence only of the fact that such tax has been paid. Neither the payment of the tax nor possession of the business tax receipt authorizes, permits or allows the doing of any act which the Person paying or holding the same would not otherwise be entitled to do; and any business license, permit, variance or other instrument of approval or evidence that any conditions exists as required by any other section of this code or by any statute or code provisions of the state must first be obtained or complied with before the doing of any act or thing for which it is required. (Ord. 2537 § 1, 1992).
