N.D. Cent. Code § 4.1-58-38: Refund of license fee by commissioner

If requested in writing, the commissioner shall refund the license fee of a public warehouse, or so much as in the commissioner's judgment is just and reasonable, if satisfactory proof is furnished the warehouse has been transferred to some other person, and the new owner has obtained a license for the same warehouse for the unexpired period for which the original license was issued. If a warehouse is destroyed by fire or other cause, the license fee may be prorated as the commissioner may determine.
