A. The tax collector may suspend or revoke any business certificate issued when it shall appear that a business is being conducted or premises used in violation of the provisions of any law of the United States, state of California, county of Sonoma, of the city, or the premises are being used for a purpose wholly or partially different to that for which the business certificate was issued. In such event, the tax collector shall, in writing, notify the certificate holder of such action.

If no appeal is filed pursuant to Sections 6.01.360 and 6.01.370, the suspension shall become a permanent revocation effective thirty days from receipt of the notice of suspension.

C. When a business certificate is proposed to be revoked as provided in this section, all rights of the person affected to be in compliance with the provisions of this chapter for such business at the premises where the violation occurred shall be revoked effective thirty days from receipt of the notice of revocation unless such proposed revocation is appealed pursuant to Sections 6.01.360 and 6.01.370 of this chapter.
