Fulton Issuance ordinance (§ 22-29)

(a) All licenses required by the city, unless otherwise specified in this chapter or by ordinance, shall be issued by the city clerk, subject to the approval of the city council.

(b) No license or permit shall be issued to any person owing the city any delinquent personal, merchants', or other city taxes until such taxes shall be paid in full to the city.

(c) No license shall be issued for any business inside the city limits until its inspection reveals that proposed business complies with the requirements of this chapter and the city fire department and after payment of the appropriate fees to the city.

If the fire chief shall deem that the premises were inspected not more than six months prior to the proposed business taking occupancy and no further inspection is required prior to the issuance of a business license, the fire chief shall notify the city clerk of this decision in writing.

Businesses classified by the city clerk as a home occupation shall not be required to complete a fire inspection unless otherwise noted by the fire chief in writing.
