  • (a)

    Contents. An adult entertainment license shall state the name of the licensee, the name of the owner of the real property, the name of the establishment, the street address of the establishment, the classification of the license, the date of issuance, and the date of expiration.

    (b)

    Term. All licenses issued under this chapter shall be annual licenses which shall commence running on October first, on which date they shall have been paid for, and shall expire on September thirtieth of the following year. If a license is issued after October first, but by March thirty-first of the following year, the applicant shall pay the applicable license fee in full. If a license is issued after March thirty-first, but by October first of the same year, the applicant shall pay one-half the applicable license fee.

    (c)

    Renewals. Licenses shall be renewed annually. Subject to other provisions of this chapter, a licensee under this chapter desiring to renew the license shall by October first present the license for the previous year, update all information and documentation required for a license application, execute and have notarized a renewal statement on an approved form, and pay the applicable license fee. If the licensee is a corporation, the renewal statement shall be executed by an officer or director.

    (d)

    Expiration. A license that is not renewed under this chapter by October first of any year shall expire. However, an expired license may be renewed by October thirty-first of the same year upon presentment of an affidavit stating that no adult entertainment activity has taken place at the establishment subsequent to expiration, upon payment of the applicable license fee, and upon payment of a penalty of ten (10) percent of the applicable license fee for the month of October, or fraction thereof.

    (e)

    Cancellation. Any expired licenses not renewed by October thirty-first shall be cancelled summarily by the tax collector.

    (f)

    Replacement license. In the event that a license document issued under this article is lost, stolen or destroyed, the licensee may, unless the license is the subject of a pending suspension or revocation proceeding, is under suspension, or has been revoked, obtain a replacement license document from the tax collector which may be used until the expiration date of the original license, upon satisfaction of the following requirements:

    (1)

    Submission of a police report documenting a theft or a sworn notarized statement from the licensee describing the circumstances that resulted in the loss of the license; and

    (2)

    Payment to the tax collector of an administrative fee of twenty dollars ($20.00).

    The replacement license document shall be labeled by the tax collector as a "replacement license," and shall otherwise have the same information on its face as did the license document that was lost, stolen or destroyed. Any attempted improper replacement of a license is hereby declared void. Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow more than one license at a single location contrary to section 3-26(d).
