§ 30-1-5. Separate license required for each place of business; change of business location.

(a)

A business license required under this Code and issued pursuant to this article shall be obtained for each location where the person does business, except for any business, which by its very nature, does not have a fixed location. Where the license is for a specific location, a license issued under this article shall authorize the licensee to do business only from the location designated on the license.

(b)

Pursuant to this section of this Code, written notice shall be given by the licensee to the Buildings and Safety Engineering Department Business License Center or to the Police Department, as the case may be, by the licensee of any change in business location. Where the license is for a new fixed location, the licensee shall apply for a business license for the location in accordance with the requirements of this Code, provided, that any change in location of the business shall be consistent with the Detroit Zoning Ordinance, being Chapter 61 of this Code, and all other conditions or requirements of this Code for the new location. Where by its nature, the business does not have a fixed location, the Business License Center shall approve the new location for the business.

(c)

The failure of the licensee to notify the Buildings and Safety Engineering Department Business License Center, or the Police Department, as the case may be, of a change in the location of the any business, with or without a fixed location, shall be deemed abandonment of the business license issued to the licensee. A determination by the Buildings and Safety Engineering Department Business License Center, or the Police Department, as the case may be, of the abandonment of the business license shall be deemed a final decision.
