Full Breakdown
Under Municipal Code § 4.05.010, any business not named in a specific fixed-fee section defaults to a gross-revenue license, tiered from $25.00 semiannually on $0–$12,000.99 up to a 0.00056 multiplier on gross above $1,200,000.99. Section 4.05.070 instead charges professional businesses (law, medicine, and similar) $100.00 for the first professional and $75.00 for each additional one. Section 4.05.100 assigns dozens of named trades, accounting firms, advertising businesses, apartment houses, and more, their own fixed semiannual rate.
Violations & Fines
Operating without the license class's required semiannual payment is enforced by the city's Business License Division; unpaid or misclassified accounts can have the license suspended or revoked under Chapter 4.04, and continued operation is a misdemeanor under § 4.04.230.
