North Carolina General Statutes § 105-449.76 Reasons why the Secretary can cancel a license

The Secretary may cancel a license issued under this Article upon the written request of the license holder.  The Secretary may summarily cancel the license of a license holder when the Secretary finds that the license holder is incurring liability for the tax imposed under this Article after failing to pay a tax when due under this Article.  In addition, the Secretary may cancel the license of a license holder that commits one or more of the acts listed in G.S. 105-449.120 after holding a hearing on whether the license should be cancelled.

The Secretary must send a person whose license is summarily cancelled a notice of the cancellation and must give the person an opportunity to have a hearing on the cancellation within 10 days after the cancellation.  The Secretary must give a person whose license may be cancelled after a hearing at least 10 days' written notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing.  A notice of a summary license cancellation and a notice of hearing must be sent by registered mail to the last known address of the license holder.

When the Secretary cancels a license and the license holder has paid all taxes and penalties due under this Article, the Secretary must take one of the following actions concerning a bond or an irrevocable letter of credit filed by the license holder:

(1)        Return an irrevocable letter of credit to the license holder.

(2)        Return a bond to the license holder or notify the person liable on the bond and the license holder that the person is released from liability on the bond. (1995, c. 390, s. 3.)
