  § 6.08.115. Investigation fees.

Latest version.

  • Every applicant or person for which a separate background investigation is required shall pay the entire cost incurred to complete such investigation, whether the application is approved or denied. All investigation fees shall be paid directly to the Las Vegas metropolitan police department (LVMPD) prior to issuance of any license or finding of suitability.

    At the time of application for any license which requires investigation, the applicant shall pay a nonrefundable investigation fee deposit of three hundred dollars as required for each respective license or finding of suitability, except for applications for bathhouse permits pursuant to Chapter 6.135 and "outcall promoter" licenses pursuant to Chapters 6.140 and 8.50, in which case the fee deposit shall be one hundred seventy-five dollars.

    The LVMPD may require prepayment of additional investigation fees as necessary to cover anticipated costs. In the event additional investigation costs exceed one thousand dollars, the LVMPD shall request approval from the director of business license, who may refer the request to the board for final approval of such additional cost. Any investigation fees paid by the applicant in excess of those necessary to cover the full cost of such investigation, other than the nonrefundable deposit, shall be refunded to the applicant upon written request.

    The LVMPD shall maintain an accounting of all investigative activity for which the applicant shall be responsible, including the date, actual hours expended, description of activity, and the name of the investigator(s) performing same. Such investigative records shall be compiled as the activities are performed and shall be promptly made available to the applicant, business license department, or board upon written request.

    In the event any applicant or general partner, officer or major stockholder owning at least ten percent of an applicant has been investigated for liquor or gaming licensure or finding of suitability within one year of application, such applicant or other person shall not be required to pay an investigation fee deposit but shall pay only such cost as the LVMPD may reasonably incur to update his or her investigation.
