Upon a person making application for the first license to be issued hereunder, or for a newly established business, such person shall furnish to the Tax Collector a sworn statement, upon a form provided by the Tax Collector, setting forth the following information:

A. The exact nature or kind of business for which a license is requested;

B. The place where such business is to be carried on, and if the same is not to be carried on at any permanent place of business, the places of residences of the owners of same;

C. In the event that application is made for the issuance of a license to a person doing business under a fictitious name, the application shall set forth the names and places of residences of those owning said business;

D. In the event that the application is made for the issuance of a license to a corporation or a partnership, the application shall set forth the names and places of residences of the officers or partners thereof;

E. In all cases where the amount of license tax to be paid is measured by gross receipts, the application shall set forth such information as may be therein required and as may be necessary to determine the amount of the license tax to be paid by the applicant;

F. Any further information which the Tax Collector may require to enable them to issue the type of license applied for. If the amount of the license tax to be paid by the applicant is measured by gross receipts, they shall estimate the gross receipts for the period to be covered by the license to be issued. Such estimate, if accepted by the Tax Collector as reasonable, shall be used in determining the amount of license tax to be paid by the applicant; provided, however, the amount of the license tax so determined shall be tentative only, and such person shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the period for which such license was issued, furnish the Tax Collector with a sworn statement, upon a form furnished by the Tax Collector, showing the gross receipts during the period of such license, and the license tax for such period shall be finally ascertained and paid in the manner provided by this title for the ascertaining and paying of renewal license taxes for other businesses, after deducting from the payment found to be due, the amount at the time such first license was issued. The Tax Collector shall not issue to any such person another license for the same or any other business, until such person shall have furnished to them the sworn statement and paid the license tax as herein required.
