Business Building
You must have a place of business to be used solely for the purpose of selling motor vehicles. It must be physically separated from any other business or residence with a permanent barrier which cannot be moved. You must have a permanent office in the building that has at least 180 square feet. The office must be kept clean and organized. Your office must include a desk, three chairs and at least one filing cabinet. The office must have permanent lighting, electrical service, ventilation, heating and may never become a storage area. You must also have a working landline or cellular telephone that is answered in the dealership name. Be sure to post the phone number prominently so your customers can see it. If you ever change your telephone number you must notify the Ohio Motor Vehicle Bureau in writing. The Ohio Motor Vehicle Bureau requires your business meet all local zoning requirements. Be sure to check your local zoning ordinances to ensure an automotive business is allowed at the location you have chosen for your dealership. We will discuss more building requirements in your Ohio dealer class.

Ohio Dealer Display Lot
Your your Ohio dealership display lot must be at least 3500 square feet. You must keep your retail vehicles separate from any vehicles you are holding to sell wholesale. It also needs to have a hard surface such as gravel or concrete. A grassy area does not qualify as a display lot. You must separate your display lot from any other business or residence with a non movable barrier such as a cement parking barrier. We will discuss your lot requirements in your Ohio dealer license class.
Business Sign and Photographs
You must have a permanent business sign with your Ohio dealer name prominently displayed. Your dealership name must be in 6 inch high or larger letters. Your Ohio dealer license application must also include a photograph of your display lot, separation from any other business or residence, inside & outside of your office, business sign, posted business hours, posted business phone, and your expanded display lot if applicable. You can email the photographs to dealerphotos@dps.ohio.gov in JPG format or enclose the photographs in your dealer application packet. If emailing the photos, be sure to include your dealership name and the name of your county in the subject of the email. An iPhone, Android phone, any smart phone, or digital camera can be used to create your JPG photographs. Failing to send the photographs can cause significant delays in the application process. The dealership must be staffed during the hours of operation by an owner, a licensed sales person, a partner, or other corporate officer. We will discuss the photograph requirement in your dealer class.
