All City licenses expire June 30 of each year. License renewal takes place from June 1-September 30 each year. A license application must accompany a renewal payment.  Applications and additional paperwork (as applicable) are required each year. A reminder letter is mailed at the end of May to the mailing address on the license account. Licenses shall be considered delinquent on August 1 of each year, although August is a grace-period for delinquent penalties. If a license remains delinquent after August 31, penalties apply. If a license remains delinquent after September 30, the license is automatically revoked. City Code 6-93
