6214.5. - REFUNDS. DUPLICATE FEES.

Upon certification by the License Officer that a duplicate license fee has been paid in error and that the duplicate license has been surrendered to and canceled by the License Officer or that no duplicate license was issued, the City shall refund to such licensee the full amount of the duplicate license fee thus paid in error.

(Amended by Ord. 1234 adopted 2-4-64)

Upon certification by the License Officer that a license fee has been erroneously accepted by the City and that the license erroneously issued has been surrendered to and cancelled by the License Officer or that no license was issued pursuant to such erroneous payment, the City shall refund to the payer the full amount of the license fee thus received in error. The mere fact that no business was conducted under a City license shall not authorize a refund under this Section.

(Added by Ord. 1234 adopted 2464)

No other refund of any license fee collected by the City under this Chapter shall be made, except that in the case of written claims for refunds the License Officer shall have the discretionary power to refund not to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the unused portion of any fee paid when the total amount of the unused portion exceeds Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00). Said discretionary power shall only be exercised in the interest of justice and to prevent extreme hardship.
