The license under this section shall be transferable only to

person to whom such license was issued upon application to the
director of finance accompanied by a fee of fifty cents, or if
such vehicle be of greater weight or different design from
that for which the license was issued, upon the payment of
fifty cents and the amount of difference in license fees between
the two vehicles.
Any person holding a current motor vehicle license plate,
tag or other indicia of license who disposes of the vehicle

may surrender the license plate, tag or other indicia
of license and registration receipt to the director of finance
and request a refund for the unused portion of the fee paid.
The director of finance shall refund to the applicant one-half
of the total cost of the license plate, tag or other indicia
of license if application for such refund is made prior to the
first day of November of the current license year, but such
refund shall only be one-third of such total cost when the
application is made subsequent to the first day of November
of the current license year, but prior to the first day of February
of the current license year.
No refund shall be made when the application therefor is
made after the first day of February of the current license
year.
