‘Herdic’ licenses proving to be confusing provision

Denver Business Journal – by Cathy Proctor

Denver’s limousine industry is in an uproar over a little-known Denver taxi and limousine license they say duplicates state requirements and may do little more than generate revenue for the city.

The license, called a Herdic license, has been on Denver’s books since at least 1950. It’s a requirement for all drivers of taxis and limousines who drive passengers on city streets — including at Denver International Airport, with exceptions for hotel courtesy vans and buses, according to the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses.

Penny May, director of Denver’s excise and licenses department, said it’s “not clear what prompted this ordinance to be adopted in 1950, but it’s still on the books, so it’s required.”

To get Denver’s Herdic license, drivers must pay a one-time $50 application fee or a $25 annual renewal fee, plus submit evidence they’ve paid a minimum of $48 per year for the city’s “head tax.”
