5.04.070 License Fees Levied:

A.    Fees For Businesses Located In The City: There is levied upon the business of every person engaged in business in the City at a place of business within the City, an annual business license fee per place of business. The amount of the fee shall be the base license fee imposed under subsection B of this Section, plus:

1. The regulatory fee imposed under subsection C of this Section, if applicable; and

2. The disproportionate impact fee imposed under subsection D of this Section, if applicable; and

3. The enhanced services fee imposed under subsection E of this Section, if applicable.

B.    Base License Fee: The base license fee levied and imposed, covering licensing, inspection, and related administrative costs shall be as follows:

2. Nonhome occupation businesses: seventy-five dollars ($75.00).

C.    Regulatory Fee:  The regulatory fee levied and imposed, for direct cost associated with doing business within the City, covering licenses listed under Schedule I of this title shall be as set forth thereunder.

D.    Disproportionate Costs:

1. It is determined by the City Council that a disproportionate level of Municipal services are provided to certain businesses within the City in comparison with that level of services provided to other businesses and to residences within the City, based on additional services provided to such businesses and on disproportionate use of police, fire, transportation, and street maintenance services and the additional costs associated with increased usage of public facilities by employees.

2. The fee determined to be related to the disproportionate costs of such Municipal services is: a) eleven dollars ($11.00) per employee for each and every full-time and part-time employee exceeding one, engaged in the operation of said business, based upon the "number of employees" defined in Section 5.02.005 of this Title or its successor.

E.    Enhanced Services: It is determined by the City Council that Municipal services are provided to businesses within the Central Business District and the Sugar House Business District, as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, at a level which exceeds other geographic areas of the City. No enhanced service fee shall be charged said businesses at the present time.

F.    Multiple Rental Dwellings: An owner of multiple rental dwellings within the City shall be required to obtain one base license and to pay one base license fee for the operation and maintenance of all such rental dwellings plus a regulatory fee as set forth in subsections B and D of this Section.

G.    Fee For Businesses Located Outside The City: There is levied upon every person engaged in business in the City, not having a place of business in the City, and not exempt as provided by Section 5.04.040 of this Article, or its successor, the same license fee as if such place of business were located within the corporate limits of Salt Lake City.

H.    Nonrefundable Application Fee: In the event any initial or renewal business license application is denied by the City or is withdrawn by the applicant, the City shall be entitled to retain the sum of thirty five dollars ($35.00) as a nonrefundable business license application fee from any license fees paid or payable to the City, unless another nonrefundable business license application fee is otherwise provided for under the ordinances of the City.

I.    Renewal Notices: Any notice or renewal reminder provided by the City in connection with this Section may be sent by ordinary mail, addressed to the address of the business as shown on the records of the City's licensing office, or, if no such address is shown, to such address as the licensing office is able to ascertain by reasonable effort. Failure of a business to receive any such notice or reminder shall not release such business from any fee or any penalty, nor shall such failure operate to extend any time limit set by the provisions of this Chapter.

      SECTION 3.  That Section 5.05.130, Salt Lake City Code, pertaining to application fees—for certificate of or certificate of additional authority be, and the same hereby is, amended to read as follows:

5.05.130 Application Fees­For Certificate Or Certificate Of Additional Authority:

An application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity or an application for a certificate of additional authority hereunder shall be accompanied by a payment of a fee of one hundred and twelve dollars ($112.00), the same to be applied toward payment of the costs of hearings and proceedings on same.
