(b) Where a mistake is made in the issuance of any license with regard to the classification under which said license was issued, then a new license shall be issued in the proper classification in lieu thereof, under the date of the original license, and the licensee shall pay an additional amount required by such a change. (Ord. No. NS-1922, § 1, 7-20-87) Sec. 21-64. How and when payable; effect of dishonored instrument; return payment service fee. All business license taxes or deposits in lieu thereof due hereunder shall be paid in advance, in lawful money of the United States, or by check, draft or other instrument in the discretion of the collector, at the office of the collector in the finance department of the city. No business license shall be issued or renewed until the amount due and payable has been paid in full. Any license, the fee for which has been paid by an instrument such as a check, or draft which is dishonored upon presentation for payment, shall be void and of no effect from its inception. The collector, may, in his or her discretion, withhold the effect of this provision if the fee is paid within fifteen (15) days. Payment of license fees following a dishonor of such instrument upon presentation for payment shall thereafter be made only by cashier's check, money order or cash, which fee shall include any applicable penalty, as well as a return payment service fee in the amount as specified by resolution of the city council for such dishonored instrument. The collector shall be authorized to reject payment other than by cash, cashier's check or money order from such licensee for a period of two (2) years following any such dishonor. (Ord.

In computing the amount of tax to be paid under this Chapter, the amount shall be rounded off to the nearest dollar as follows: If the remaining fraction of a dollar is forty-nine cents ($0.49) or less, such fraction shall be waived; if the remaining fraction of a dollar is fifty cents ($0.50) or more, the next highest full dollar shall be charged. (Ord. No. NS-1922, § 1, 7-20-87) Sec. 21-66. Same —Application of money towards delinquent fees.

(Ord. No. NS1922, § 1, 7-20-87) Sec. 21-67. Nontransferable, change of name or location.
