4-2-5: LICENSE; APPLICATION:
A. Every person, before transacting any business as a transient dealer or any other activity described in section 4-2-3 of this chapter, shall first procure from the town clerk a license permitting him to engage in any of the selling or soliciting activities referred to in this chapter. This license shall be referred to as a "transient dealers license".
B. This transient dealer's license shall be issued for a period of fourteen (14) days. Said license may be renewed for successive periods of fourteen (14) days upon the payment of the license fee for each period.
C. Applicants for a transient dealer's license shall file with the town clerk at least three (3) days prior to the date upon which the applicant desires to begin his business, a sworn application in writing on a form to be furnished by the clerk, which shall give the following information:
1. Name, date of birth and physical description of the applicant.
2. The permanent home address and full local address of the applicant.
3. A brief description of the nature of the business and goods shown for sale or for future delivery, including the manufacturer, producer and supplier of said goods.
4. If employed, the name, address and phone number of the employer together with credentials establishing the exact relationship between the employer and employee.
5. Colorado state sales tax number.
6. The length of time for which the right to do business is desired. (Ord. 14, Series 1982)
7. Anticipated taxable sales. (Ord. 30, Series 1986)
8. The fingerprints of the applicant.
9. A statement as to whether or not the applicant has ever been convicted of any crime or misdemeanor and if the applicant has been so convicted, a statement as to the nature of the offense and conviction.
10. The particular manner and means by which he intends to sell his goods or take his orders.
D. At the time of the filing of the applicant, a license fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be paid to the town clerk to cover the cost of investigating the facts stated in the application and administrative costs. (Ord. 14, Series 1982)
E. At the time of filing of the application, the applicant shall provide the town clerk an estimate of his anticipated taxable sales in accordance with the town sales tax ordinance and shall deposit a sum equal to four percent (4%) of said amount with the finance department of the town; provided, however, that said deposit shall not be less than fifty dollars ($50.00). Upon verification by the town that the licensee has paid the sales tax due the town, the balance of the deposit, if any, shall be returned to him within ten (10) working days of verification. If the licensee fails to pay the town's sales tax and does not seek return of the deposit within ninety (90) days from the expiration of the license, the town manager may declare the deposit forfeited and notify the licensee thereof at the address shown on the license. Forfeiture of the deposit, however, does not release the licensee of the liability to remit the correct amount of sales taxes due. (Ord. 30, Series 1986)
