85B-6. Fees; local governments not to charge fees or require licenses.

(a) The Commission shall collect and remit to the State Treasurer fees in an amount not to exceed the following:

Item Maximum Fee
Apprentice Auctioneers:
Application for license................................................................................ $ 125.00
Issuance or renewal of license.................................................................... 125.00
Auctioneers:
Application for license................................................................................ 125.00
Examination................................................................................................ 75.00
Issuance or renewal of license.................................................................... 250.00
Auction Firms:
Application for license................................................................................ 125.00
Examination................................................................................................ 75.00
Issuance or renewal of license.................................................................... 250.00
Reinstatement of License............................................................................... 75.00.

An application fee for a license and an examination fee are nonrefundable. The amount payable by a nonresident under G.S. 85B-5 to obtain a nonresident reciprocal auctioneer license is the greater of the amount set in the above table for an examination for and the issuance of an auctioneer's license and the amount the nonresident's state would charge a resident auctioneer of this State to obtain a comparable license from that state.

A reinstatement fee is payable when a person applies for renewal of a license after the license has lapsed for failure to renew it before it expired. The reinstatement of a lapsed license is not retroactive in effect and does not limit the authority of the courts or of the Commission to take disciplinary action against a person who engages in the auctioneer profession with a lapsed license.

(b) No local government or agency of local government may charge any fees or require any licenses for auctioneers, apprentice auctioneers, or auction firms in addition to those set out in this Chapter.
