§ 46-63. Occupational license required.

No person shall engage in or manage any business, profession or occupation within the corporate limits of the town unless an appropriate occupational license has been procured from the town manager/clerk, referred to in this article as the "tax collector," by payment of the fees determined by the classification, category and rate of the business, profession or occupation as set forth in this article. Occupational licenses shall be issued only for those businesses located in properly designated zoning districts. All applications for such licenses shall be placed on file with the tax collector at least 24 hours prior to opening of the business, except renewals with no change in location. In addition to the payment of such fees, all delinquencies shall be subject to prosecution and the fines and penalties for the offense of engaging in or carrying on any business, occupation or profession without first obtaining the appropriate occupation license therefor as required by this article. No business shall transfer to a new location under a current regulatory certificate without first obtaining, in writing, from the appropriate town official, a verification of correct zoning for such business at the proposed location.
