Cite as: Inglewood Municipal Code § 8-98 · Text as of 2026-10-04

Permits and licenses issued under the provisions of this Article shall be and remain valid until either surrendered in writing or allowed to expire by the permittee or licensee, or suspended or revoked by the City Council or Administrative Officer as provided in this Article.

Except as herein provided, card club licenses shall, unless renewed, expire annually on the anniversary date of their issuance. The initial license shall be dated as of the day upon which the same is issued and, unless sooner revoked shall expire at midnight of the fifth anniversary of the date the card club which is the subject of such initial license shall commence operations. If the initial license shall be surrendered or revoked prior to the end of such fifth anniversary, then the license granted relative to the operation of the card club in lieu of the initial license shall expire at the same time that the initial license would have expired (i.e. the fifth anniversary of the date on which the card club commenced operations).

The card club operations certificate shall be and remain valid as long as the card club license is valid and no physical or procedural changes are made with respect to the club, club site, or operation of the club.

In the event of surrender, suspension, revocation or expiration, no permit fee or license fee, or any portion thereof, shall be refunded.

(Ord. 99-28 9-21-99)

(b) If such application for renewal is not filed within the time specified by Section 8-98.1(a), such licensee may thereafter file a written application for renewal of any such expired license, but in such event, such licensee shall pay a penalty fee of $10 for each table or unit affected by such renewal, for each day of delinquency.

(c) The application for renewal shall be accompanied by the full amount of the required renewal license fee as set forth in Section 8-104.
