A. A permit or license issued in accordance with this chapter or Chapters 5.30 through 5.50 BMC shall be valid for two (2) calendar years and shall expire automatically on the date of original issue.

B. An application to renew a permit or license shall be made to the transportation inspector, at the time set for submitting the application, and shall be treated in the same manner as an original application. A decision to grant a license or permit in two (2) years does not preclude the transportation inspector from denying a license or permit upon application for renewal.

C. If a permittee or licensee is not qualified to hold their permit or license at the time of renewal, the transportation inspector shall not renew the permit or license and it shall become void and revert to the commission.

D. Any person whose application for an original license or permit or for a renewal of license or permit has been denied and any person whose license or permit has been revoked may not apply for a new license or permit for one (1) year from the initial date of the denial or revocation. New taxicab permits shall only be issued in accordance with the provisions of BMC 5.30.050. [Ord. 21-21 § 2, 2021; Ord. 07-18 § 2; Ord. 01-02 § 3.]
