A. A person desiring to secure a permit to engage in an activity regulated by this title shall make written application to the clerk on forms prepared and furnished by the borough. The application fee established under this title must be submitted with the application for that type of permit. A person who has had a permit suspended twice or revoked once within the previous three calendar years may not submit an application for a new permit.

B. All permits shall indicate the date of expiration on the permit. A permit may be renewed and reissued upon application to the clerk. Except as otherwise provided in this title, the review standards and procedures that apply to an initial permit application shall apply to applications for the renewal of a permit. The renewal fee for a permit must be paid at the time the renewal permit is issued. A permit shall not be renewed if the clerk determines that grounds exist for the suspension or revocation of the applicant’s expiring permit. Nor shall a permit be renewed unless all sales tax reports have been submitted and all business sales, real, and personal property taxes owed to the borough and payable by the permittee have been paid. A renewal of a commercial tour permit is also subject to the requirements of HBC 5.18.060.

C. Before a permit is issued under this title, a permit applicant must first obtain a borough business license (except if the merchant/vendor has a fair vendor permit or a transient and itinerant merchant permit).

D. Vendors without a valid Haines Borough business license making sales at events taking place at the Southeast Alaska State Fairgrounds shall purchase a fair vendor permit, with the fee to be collected by the Southeast Alaska State Fair and remitted to the borough in lieu of a business license.
