A. Any application for a massage technician permit shall be accompanied by a fee as set by resolution of the council. The application fee shall be used to defray, in whole or in part, the city, county, and/or state costs of investigation and report. Any person who applied for a massage establishment license and who desires to act as a massage technician within the establishment shall not be required to pay the fee required by this section, but shall be required to provide the information required by Section 5.56.110.

B. A massage technician permit shall remain valid as long as the permit holder maintains continual employment as evidenced by the possession of a valid business tax certificate. Each permit holder shall be required to submit a copy of their valid business tax certificate by mail to the Police Department by September 30 of each fiscal year. Failure to renew the business tax certificate by September 30 shall cause the massage technician permit to become invalid and the technician must complete a new massage technician permit application accompanied by a fee as set by resolution of the council. If a licensed technician relocates to a business location requiring a facility inspection, an application for address change shall be required and accompanied by an administrative fee as set by resolution of the council.
