B. The provisions of subsection A shall not apply to mobile or portable machinery or equipment which is transferred from one location to another after notification to the control officer of the transfer.

C. A permit may be transferred, whether by operation of law or otherwise, from one person to another, provided that prior to the transfer, the person holding the permit notifies the control officer in writing of the name, address, telephone number and statutory agent of the person to whom the permit will be transferred, the effective date of the proposed transfer and other information the board of supervisors may determine to be necessary by rule. The control officer shall prescribe procedures for such notification.
