Section 726.125 - License fees; fees for extra service.
(1) Each pawnbroker shall pay to the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services each year the license fee determined by the director under subsection (2) of this section.
(2) The director may charge and collect a license fee from each pawnbroker, according to a license fee schedule established by the director by rule, for the purpose of defraying the costs of performing supervision, enforcement and other duties imposed by law upon the director in respect to pawnbrokers. In setting the license fee schedule and allocating license fees among pawnbrokers, the director shall take into consideration the costs of performing the duties of the director relative to each pawnbroker, the amount of all other moneys paid to the director under this chapter and the cost of developing and maintaining a reasonable emergency fund. License fees under this subsection shall be assessed and paid upon approval of a new license application, and not later than December 15 or such date as may be specified by the director by rule for renewal of a license.
(3) In addition to the license fee collected under subsection (2) of this section, whenever the director devotes any extra attention to the affairs of a pawnbroker, either upon determination by the director or upon request of the pawnbroker, the fee for the extra service shall be the actual cost thereof.
