§ 62-6-507. Expiration of Licenses — Assignment and Transfer — Renewal — Issuance of Duplicate Licenses
Universal Citation: TN Code § 62-6-507 (2021)
- All licenses, except temporary licenses, shall expire the last day of the twenty-fourth month from the date of issuance.
- No license shall be assignable or transferable except as provided in this subsection (b). A license to conduct a home improvement business issued to an individual may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the license period to a partnership or stockholder of a corporation owning not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding stock at the time of assignment or transfer. A license issued to a partnership may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the license period to any one (1) member of the partnership; provided, that the member obtains the consent of all of the other members of the partnership. The application for transfer or assignment shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the board that there has been compliance with the requirements of this subsection (b). No assignment or transfer shall become effective unless and until the endorsement of the transfer or assignment has been made on the face of the license by the commissioner and the license, so endorsed, has been returned to the assignee or transferee. All endorsements shall be made without payment of any fee.
- Any license, except a temporary license, that has not been suspended or revoked, may, upon the payment of the renewal fee prescribed by this part, be renewed for an additional period of twenty-four (24) months from its expiration, upon the filing of an application for renewal, on a form to be prescribed by the board. The form shall include a statement to be completed by the applicant indicating all material changes from the original application for a license. A penalty fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per month, not to exceed thirty dollars ($30.00), shall be assessed on any renewal application postmarked after the date of expiration. No renewal application shall be accepted more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the license.
- A duplicate license may be issued for one lost, destroyed or mutilated upon application for a duplicate on a form prescribed by the board and the payment of the fee prescribed by this part. Each duplicate license shall have the word “duplicate” stamped across the face of the license and shall bear the same number as the one it replaces.
