A minimum charge is required for the processing of any initial or renewal license application. This charge shall be in addition to the business license tax and shall not be prorated. The charge shall not be refunded if the application is rejected. However, if after receipt of applicant's written notification of cancellation, no required inspection or investigation has taken place pursuant to any applicable provision of this Code, and no business activity has been transacted or carried on, then in that event a refund request for all inspection or investigation fees paid exceeding the amount specified in Section 21- 120r(2) may be made pursuant to Section 21-87 subsection (d). In no event, however, shall the application processing charge be made refundable, other than as part of a refund made pursuant to Section 21-87 subsection (b). Provided further, that the collector may waive the processing charge in the case of a bonafide nonprofit, charitable, or otherwise fee -exempt licensee.
