Effective the date of the ordinance from which this section is derived, all contractors
holding a current license will have a three-month grace period after the expiration
date of his or her license to pay required fees as stated in the Master Fee Schedule,
in order to renew his or her license. After the three-month grace period contractors
will be required to pay a reinstatement fee, as stated in the Master Fee Schedule.
Failure to renew by the end of the grace period shall cause such license to expire.
If such license has expired, the building official shall reinstate the license provided
an application for reinstatement is made by the contractor within one year of the
expiration of the license, a reinstatement fee as stated in the Master Fee Schedule
is paid, and there are no revocation or suspension proceedings in progress against
the license holder. Except as provided herein, any license that has expired shall
not be renewed or reinstated and testing with a minimum passing score as referenced
in section 27-198 will be mandatory in order for the building official to issue a license to do work
within the city and its extra-territorial zoning jurisdiction.
If the building official has reason to believe that the licensee has violated the
provisions of section 27-51, he/she shall have the power to impose any revocation or suspension clause contained
within the context of this article.
