It is unlawful for any person to engage in the business of conducting a pawnshop or to act as a dealer without first having obtained a license to do so. The fee for a pawnshop license and the fee for a dealer’s license shall be $100.00 per year. No pawnshop license shall be issued hereafter which would increase the number of pawnshop licenses in the city to more than one for every 15,000 of population or fraction thereof. Pawnshop licenses may be revoked by the city for nonuse or discontinuation of use pursuant to the provisions of BCC 5.32.145. No pawnshop license shall be issued where it is determined by the clerk that the information contained in the application for the license is not truthful. (Ord. 4891 § 2, 1996; 1961 code § 5.37.020.)
