§ 84.1-2-9. Duration of taxicab certificates; nontransferable.

(a)

No taxicab certificates will be issued under this Article nor continued in effect until all fees and taxes imposed by this Chapter or any other Chapter of this Code are paid, insofar as such fees relate to operation of a taxicab business within the County.

(b)

Such certificates will be nontransferable by sale, lease, or otherwise and will be valid from the date of issuance until relinquished or revoked as provided in this Chapter; provided, if any certificate holder will fail to place in operation, within 18 months of the date of authorization for new or additional taxicab certificates, any taxicabs so authorized for operation under a numbered certificate, such unused certificates will become null and void, except as provided in Section 84.1-2-10(d), and must be returned to the Department within two business days.

(c)

In the event that a taxicab is permanently removed from service, the certificate holder may substitute a replacement vehicle on that numbered taxicab certificate, but any such replacement vehicle will meet the requirements of Section 84.1-8-3 and the holder will submit that replacement vehicle to Director for inspection prior to placement in service. If the replacement vehicle is not placed in service within 18 months, such unused certificates will become null and void, except as provided in Section 84.1-2-10(d), and must be returned to the Department within two business days.
