5.06.042 Fee adjustments.
For business license renewal applications the business license fee may be adjusted at the date of renewal to account for under- or over-reporting of the number of employees during the previous year.
A. If at any time during the previous year the number of employees exceeds the estimate submitted with the initial application, an additional license fee shall be collected by the city, in conjunction with approving the annual renewal. Such additional license fees shall be prorated by the actual number of days the additional employee(s) worked during the year.
B. At the time of renewal, if the city determines the number of employees at the end of the previous year was less than the number reported estimated for the previous year, the city may issue a refund of the excess fees collected. Such refund shall be prorated by the number of days that each of the previously reported employees who were not employed at the end of the year did not work during the calendar year.
