SECTION 3. - Purpose and Duration
The business license levied by this ordinance is for the purpose of providing such
regulation as may be required by the businesses subject thereto and for the
purpose of raising revenue for the general fund through a privilege tax. Each
license shall be issued for one calendar beginning on January 1 and expiring on
December 31; this time period shall be considered a license year. The provisions
of this ordinance and the rates herein shall remain in effect from year to year as
amended by North Charleston City Council.
SECTION 4. - License Fee
A.
The required license fee shall be paid for each business subject hereto
according to the applicable rate classification on or before the 31st day of
January in each year, except for those businesses in Rate Class 8 for
which a different due date is specified.
B.
A separate license shall be required for each place of business and for
each classification or business conducted at one place. If gross income
cannot be separated for classifications at one location, the license fee
shall be computed on the combined gross income for the classification
requiring the highest rate. A license fee based on gross income shall be
computed on the gross income for the preceding calendar or fiscal year,
and on a twelve-month projected income based on the monthly average
for a business in operation for less than one year. The fee for a new
business shall be computed on the estimated probable gross income
stated in the license application for the balance of the license year and
updated prior to renewing for the following year. No refund shall be
made for a business that is discontinued, annexed into a municipality or
for an over payment of a prior year license fee.
C.
If gross income for the twelve months ending on the preceding
December 31 cannot be determined before January 31 of the licensing
year, estimated figures will be accepted, without penalties based on the
following conditions:
1. Payment for the business license was received by January 31
and was 90% of the total amount that would be due and,
2. An amended application and all additional fees due are
received by April 30 of the licensing year.
5
SECTION 5. - Registration Required
A.
The owner, agent or legal representative of every business subject to this
ordinance, whether listed in the classification index or not, shall register
the business and make application for a business license on or before the
due date of each year. A new business shall be required to have a
business license prior to operation within the City.
B.
Application shall be on a form provided by the License Official which
shall contain the Social Security Number and/or the Federal Employer’s
Identification Number, the South Carolina Retail License Number (if
applicable), the business name as reported on the South Carolina income
tax return, and all information about the applicant and the business deemed
appropriate to carry out the purpose of this ordinance by the License
Official. Applicants may be required to submit copies of portions of state
and federal income tax returns reflecting gross income figures.
C.
The applicant shall certify under oath that the information given in the
application is true, that the gross income is accurately reported, or
estimated for a new business, without any unauthorized deductions, and
that all assessments and personal property taxes on business property due
and payable to the City have been paid.
D.
No business license shall be issued until the applicant first submits
documents necessary to establish compliance with City Zoning
Ordinance, Building Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing
Code, Roofing Code and other regulatory Codes as adopted by City
Council.
E.
Insurance agents and brokers shall report the name of each insurance
company for which a policy was issued and the total premiums collected
for each company for each type of insurance coverage on a form
approved by the License Official. An insurance agent not employed by
an insurance company or employed by more than one insurance
company shall be licensed as a broker.
Section 5A. - Fireworks Sales
Any establishment desiring to sell fireworks must first acquire the Annual State
Board of Pyrotechnic Safety License and must meet all regulations pursuant to
the provisions of Regulation 19-405, S.C. Code of Laws for 1976. Prior
approval of the City of North Charleston Fire Department is required as
governed by regulations of the State Fire Marshal pursuant to the 1976 Code,
Chapter 9 of Title 23, and Chapter 43 of Title 39, governing the transportation
and use of pyrotechnics.
6
Section 5B. - Hawkers and Peddlers
Any person desiring to peddle goods anywhere in the City must first acquire the
State Hawkers and Peddlers License and must meet all regulations pursuant to
the provisions of Section 40-41-10, S.C. Code of Laws of 1976 and are also
subject to being in compliance with the zoning and building codes.
SECTION 5C. - Miscellaneous Sales
(Antique Malls, Flea Markets or Leased Space Sales)
Any person leasing space for the sale of merchandise from an established
business shall be required to have a business license, whether or not the sales are
made through a central cash register. Furthermore, it shall be the responsibility
of the leasor of the spaces to advise the business license office of persons leasing
space.
SECTION 6. - Deductions, Exemptions, and Charitable Organizations
A.
No deductions from gross income shall be made except income from
business done wholly outside of the City jurisdiction on which a license
tax is paid to another municipality or county, taxes collected for a
governmental entity, or income which cannot be taxed pursuant to State
or Federal law. The applicant shall have the burden to establish the right
to deduction by satisfactory records and proof.
B.
No person shall be exempt from the requirements of the ordinance by
reason of the lack of an established place of business within the City,
unless exempted by State or Federal law. The License Official shall
determine the appropriate classification for each business in accordance
with the latest issue of the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) for the United States published by the Office of
Management and Budget. No person shall be exempt from this ordinance
by reason of the payment of any other tax, unless exempted by State law,
and no person shall be relieved of the liability for the payment of any
other tax by reason of the application of this ordinance. The provisions
of this article shall not extend to paper and allied products (NAICS 322)
or chemical and allied products (NAICS 325), but shall extend and apply
to vendors of every other class and kind of goods.
7
C.
Charitable organizations which have exemptions from state and federal
income taxes may be exempt from a business license tax only in cases
where the sponsors, organizers, directors, trustees, or persons who
exercise ultimate control of the organization receive no part of the
proceeds of operation, and all proceeds are devoted to charitable
purposes as defined by this ordinance. Payment of necessary costs of
operation and wages to non-management employees will not disqualify a
charitable organization from exemption.
SECTION 7. - False Application Unlawful
It shall be unlawful for any person subject to the provisions of this ordinance to
make a false application for a business license, or to give or file, or direct the
giving or filing of any false information with respect to the license or fee
required by this ordinance.
SECTION 8. - Display and Transfer
A.
All persons shall display the license issued to them on the original form
provided by the License Official in a conspicuous place in the business
establishment at the address shown on the license. A transient or
non-resident shall carry the license upon his person or in a vehicle used
in the business readily available for inspection by any authorized agent
of the City.
B.
A change of address must be reported to the License Official within ten
(10) days after removal of the business to a new location and the license
will be valid at the new address upon written notification of the License
Official and compliance with zoning and building codes. Failure to
obtain the approval of the License Official for a change of address shall
invalidate the license and subject the licensee to prosecution for doing
business without a license. A business license shall not be transferable
and a transfer of controlling interest shall be considered a termination of
the old business and the establishment of a new business requiring a new
business license, based on old business income.
8
SECTION 9. - Administration of Ordinance
The License Official shall administer the provisions of this ordinance, collect
license fees, issue licenses, make or initiate investigations and audits to insure
compliance, initiate denial or revocation procedures, report violations to the
Police Department and assist in prosecution of violators, produce forms, make
reasonable regulations relating to the administration of this ordinance, and
perform such other duties as may be duly assigned. The Police Department, in
addition to the License Official, is hereby empowered to make or initiate
investigations to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance and to
initiate prosecution of violations. The Police Department, in addition to the
License Official, shall have the authority to order that a business immediately
cease making sales in the event no current valid North Charleston Business
License has been issued.
SECTION 10. - Inspection and Audits
A.
For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this ordinance the License
Official or other authorized agent of the City is empowered to enter upon
the premises of any person subject to this ordinance to make inspections,
examine and audit books and records, and it shall be unlawful for any
such person to fail or refuse to make available the necessary books and
records. In the event an audit or inspection reveals that false information
has been filed by the licensee, the costs of the audit shall be added to the
correct license fee and late penalties in addition to other penalties
provided herein. Each day of failure to pay the proper amount of license
fee shall constitute a separate offense.
B.
The License Official shall make systematic inspections and random
audits of all businesses within the City to insure compliance with the
ordinance. Records of inspection and audits shall not be deemed public
records, and the License Official shall not release the amount of license
taxes paid or the reported gross income of any person by name without
written permission of the licensee, provided that statistics compiled by
classifications may be made public.
C.
The License Official, upon approval of the Mayor, may disclose gross
income of licenses to the Internal Revenue Service, S.C. Department of
Revenue, Charleston County Tax Assessor, Charleston County Business
License/User Fee Appeals Board and other County and Municipal
Business license offices for the purpose of assisting tax assessments, tax
collections and enforcement. Such disclosures shall be for internal,
confidential and official use of these governmental agencies and shall
not be deemed public records.
9
SECTION 11. - Assessments, Payment Under Protest, Appeal
A.
When a person fails to obtain a business license or to furnish the
information required by this ordinance or the License Official, the
License Official shall proceed to examine such records of the business or
any other available records as may be appropriate and to conduct such
investigations and statistical surveys as the License Official may deem
appropriate to assess a license tax and penalties as provided herein.
B.
A notice of assessment shall be served by certified mail. An application
for adjustment of the assessment may be made to the License Official
within five (5) days after the notice is mailed or the assessment will
become final. The License Official shall establish by regulation the
procedure for hearing an application for adjustment of assessment and
issuing a notice of final assessment.
C.
A final assessment may be appealed to the Business License/User Fee
Appeals Board. See Section 16 - Appeals, which explains the procedures
for appealing a final assessment.
SECTION 12. - Delinquent License Fees, Partial Payment
A.
For non-payment of all or any part of the correct license fee, the License
Official shall levy and collect a late penalty of five (5%) percent of the
unpaid fee for each month or portion thereof after the due date until paid.
Penalties shall not exceed 100% of the original license fee and shall not
be waived. If any license fee shall remain unpaid for sixty (60) days after
its due date, the License Official shall issue an execution which shall
constitute a lien upon the property of the licensee for the tax, penalties
and costs of collection, and shall proceed to collect in the same manner
as prescribed by law for the collection of other taxes.
B.
Partial payment may be accepted by the License Official to toll
imposition of penalties on the portion paid; provided, however, no
business license shall be issued or renewed until the full amount of the
tax due, with penalties, has been paid.
10
SECTION 13. - Notices
The License Official may, but shall not be required to, mail written notices that
license fees are due, but if notices are not mailed there shall be published a
notice of the due date in a newspaper of general circulation within the City three
(3) times prior to the due date in each year. Failure to receive notice shall not
constitute a defense to prosecution for failure to pay the tax due or grounds for
waiver of penalties.
SECTION 14. - Denial of License
The License Official shall deny a license to an applicant when the application is
incomplete, contains a misrepresentation, false or misleading statement, evasion
or suppression of a material fact, or when the activity for which a license is
sought is unlawful or constitutes a public nuisance per se. A decision of the
License Official shall be subject to appeal to the Business License/User Fee
Appeals Board as herein provided. Denial shall be written with reasons stated.
SECTION 15. - Suspension or Revocation of License
When the License Official determines that:
A.
A license has been mistakenly or improperly issued or issued contrary to law; or
B.
A licensee has breached any condition upon which the license was issued
or has failed to comply with the provision of this ordinance; or
C.
A licensee has obtained a license through a fraud, misrepresentation, a
false or misleading statement, evasion or suppression of a material fact
in the license application; or
D.
A licensee has been convicted of an offense under a law or ordinance
regulating business, a crime involving moral turpitude, or an unlawful
sale of merchandise or prohibited goods; or
E.
A licensee has engaged in an unlawful activity or nuisance related to the
business.
The License Official shall give written notice to the licensee or the person in
control of the business within the City by personal service or certified mail that
the license is suspended pending a hearing before Business License/User Fee
Appeals Board for the purpose of determining whether the license should be
revoked. The notice shall state the time and place at which the hearing is to be
held, which shall be within thirty (30) days from the date of service of the notice.
The notice shall contain a brief statement of the reasons for suspension and
proposed revocation and a copy of the applicable provisions of this ordinance.
11
SECTION 16. - Appeals to Council
A.
Any person aggrieved by a final assessment, charge backs from an audit or a
denial of a business license by the License Official may appeal the decision
to the Business License/ User Fee Appeals Board by written request stating
the reasons therefore. The appeal must be filed with the License Official
within ten (10) days after the payment of the assessment under protest or
notice of denial is received. A written notice of appeal must be accompanied
with a $25 fee that will be used to partially defray the costs incurred in
connection with the administration of appeals. Payment under protest shall
be a condition precedent to appeal. The fee will be refunded in the event of
final resolution of the appeal in favor of the appellant.
B.
An appeal or a hearing on revocation shall be held by the Appeals Board
after receipt of a request for appeal or service of notice of suspension at a
meeting of which the applicant or licensee has the right to be represented
by counsel, to present testimony and evidence, and to cross-examine
witnesses. The proceedings shall be recorded and transcribed at the
expense of the party so requesting. The rules of evidence and procedure
prescribed by the Board shall govern the hearing. The Board shall, by
majority vote of members present, render a written decision based upon
findings of fact and the application of the standards herein which shall be
served upon all parties or their representatives. The decision of the Board
shall be final unless appealed to City Council with ten (10) days after
service of the Board’s decision. City Council shall review the record and
without further hearing affirm, modify, or deny the appeal. The decision
of Council shall be final unless appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction
within ten (10) days after service of City Council’s decision.
C.
No person shall be subject to prosecution for doing business without a
license until the expiration of ten (10) days after notice of denial or
revocation which is not appealed or until after final judgment of a circuit
court upholding denial or revocation.
SECTION 17. - Permission To Use Streets Required
It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, install, maintain or operate in, on,
above or under any street or public place under control of the City any line, pipe,
cable, pole, structure or facility for utilities, communications, cablevision or other
purposes without a consent agreement or franchise agreement issued by City
Council by ordinance which prescribes the term, fees and conditions for use.
12
SECTION 18. - Consent, Franchise or Business License Fee Required
The annual fee for use of streets or public places authorized by a consent
agreement or franchise agreement shall be set by the ordinance approving the
agreement and shall be consistent with limits set by State law. Existing franchise
agreements shall continue in effect until expiration dates in the agreements.
Franchise and consent fees shall not be in lieu of or be credited against business
license fees unless specifically provided by the franchise or consent agreement.
SECTION 19. - Confidentiality
Except in accordance with proper judicial order or as otherwise provided by law,
it shall be unlawful for any official or employee to divulge or make known in
any manner the amount of income or any particulars set forth or disclosed in any
report or return required under this ordinance. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to prohibit the publication of statistics so classified as to prevent the
identification of particular reports or returns.
SECTION 20. - Violations
Any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of
an offense and shall be subject to a fine of up to $500.00 or imprisonment for not
more than thirty (30) days or both, upon conviction. Each day of violation shall
be considered a separate offense. Punishment for violation shall not relieve the
offender of liability for delinquent taxes, penalties and costs provided for herein.
SECTION 21. - Separability
A determination that any portion of this ordinance is invalid or unenforceable
shall not affect the remaining portions.
13
SECTION 22. - Classification and Rates
A.
The sectors of businesses included in each Rate Class are listed with the
United States North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
codes. The alphabetical index in this ordinance is a tool for
classification, not a limitation on businesses subject to a license tax. The
License Official shall determine the proper class for a business according
to the applicable NAICS manual, whether or not the business is listed in
the alphabetical index. A business class which is not listed in the rate
class or numerical indexes is not subject to a license tax. Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes included in the index are for
administrative use in converting to NAICS codes.
B.
The license fee for each Class of businesses subject to this ordinance
shall be computed in accordance with the following rates.

Sub-contractors shall be licensed on the same basis as general or prime contractors
for the same job, and no deductions shall be made by a general or prime contractor

on the project if the sub-contractor is found without a city business license.
All contractors located in the City must report all income received in the prior year to
the business license office during the renewal period. Each Contractor may itemize
