A Business License must be posted in a conspicuous place where the business is conducted. The Business License cannot be transferred or assigned, except when a business is transferred from one location to another.

The fact that a Business License has been issued does not authorize or legalize a business activity that violates any federal, state, or local statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, or land use district where the business is not permitted. A Business License will not be issued until the applicant has obtained all necessary land use entitlements or building permits to operate the business.
