Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 15 Sec. 21-69. - Duplicates. A duplicate license may be issued to replace any license previously issued hereunder which has been lost or destroyed upon the licensee filing a statement of such fact, and, at the time of filing such statement, paying a duplicate license charge in the amount specified in Section 21-120d(5). Sec. 21-88. - Application for refund. No refund of monies howsoever paid or collected shall be allowed in whole or in part unless an application therefor is filed with the collector within a period of one (1) year from the expiration of the license period for which a refund is sought, and all such claims for refund must be filed with the collector on forms furnished by him or her in the manner prescribed by him or her. Such application may be made only by the person who made the payment, his or her guardian, executor, administrator or heir. Refunds shall not be made to an assignee of the applicant. Upon the filing of such a claim, and when he or she determines that a refund is warranted, the collector shall refund the amount warranted, less an amount equivalent to the application processing charge paid, which shall be retained to cover the administrative cost of the refund. Provided, however, that in the case of a refund made pursuant to Section 21-87 subsection (b), and where applicable, subsection (d), no deduction shall be made on account of the administrative cost therefor. The failure to file such application within the time prescribed herein shall bar any future right of recovery. Section 7.
