If an application for a license is withdrawn before it has been completely processed
by the tax collector and, pending action upon such application, the applicant has
not engaged in the business or activity for which the license is required, either
pursuant to Section 7.06.060 or in violation of the provisions of this title, the tax collector shall refund to
the applicant 50 percent of the license fee (excluding penalties). No refunds shall
be granted when the application has been completely processed or denied.
