  • The Board of Supervisors shall have the power to revoke at any time any fire or closing out sale License or auctioneer's License granted in accordance with this chapter, whenever any such fire, closing out or auction sale is being conducted in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, or in such a manner as to deceive or defraud the public.

    No License shall be revoked until a written complaint and copy thereof have been filed with the Board of Supervisors, setting forth in ordinary and concise language the charge made against the Licensee. Such complaint shall be verified by the oath of the person making the charge, such verification being in the form prescribed by the Code of Civil Procedure for verified pleadings in civil actions. Upon receipt of the complaint, the Board shall set a day for hearing on revocation of the permit, and at least ten (10) days prior to said hearing shall cause a copy of said complaint and notice of hearing to be served upon the permittee either personally or by mail at the address where Licensee is conducting or intending to conduct such sale. When the License of any person is revoked for any cause, no new or other License shall be granted to the same person within six (6) months after such revocation.
