Latest version.
  • (a)

    Procedure. No license or permit issued under this division shall be suspended, revoked or placed on probation with or without conditions, except for due cause as defined in this section, and only after a hearing before the board of commissioners upon a prior written notice to the licensee or permittee of the time, place and purpose for such hearing and a statement of the charges upon which the license or permit may be revoked, suspended or placed on probation. Three days' notice shall be deemed reasonable, but shorter or longer periods of notice may be authorized by the board of commissioners as the circumstances may justify.

    (b)

    Grounds. Due cause for the suspension or revocation of such license shall consist of any of the following:

    (1)

    Violation of any of the provisions of this article or any other county ordinance.

    (2)

    Violation of any laws, ordinances or resolutions regulating such business, or violation of regulations made pursuant to authority granted for the purpose of regulating such business.

    (3)

    If a licensee or permittee has supplied false information to the county either during or following application for a permit or license, regardless of when the county shall have become aware of such false information.

    (4)

    If a licensee or permittee makes any misrepresentation of fact, whether through advertisement or through any form of direct communication, oral or written, which is intended to mislead the public or to mislead any party with whom the licensee or permittee deals in pursuance of the licensed or permitted business. The term "misrepresentation of fact" as used in this subsection shall embrace not only express misrepresentations but also misrepresentations arising by virtue of the licensee's or permittee's conduct, including acts and omissions.

    (5)

    If any reason exists which would have been grounds for denial of the original or renewal license or permit.
