Display of license; change of business name or location; application
for approval of change; affidavit
Sec. 4. (a) The license issued to a factory branch, a distributor
branch, an automobile auctioneer, a transfer dealer, or a dealer under
this chapter must specify the location of each place of business and
shall be conspicuously displayed at each business location.
(b) If a business name or location is changed, the holder shall
notify the bureau within ten (10) days and remit the fee required
under IC 9-29-8. The bureau shall endorse that change on the license
if the bureau determines that the change is not subject to other
provisions of this article.
(c) A dealer who uses the Internet or other computer network to
facilitate the sale of motor vehicles as set forth in section 2(c) of this
chapter shall notify the bureau within ten (10) days upon any change
in the name, address, or telephone number of business records
located outside Indiana that have been created in transactions made
in Indiana by the dealer. A report made under this subsection is not
subject to the fee required under IC 9-29-8-5.
(d) This subsection applies to a dealer in a city having a
population of more than ninety thousand (90,000) but less than one
hundred five thousand (105,000). A dealer who wants to change a
location must submit to the bureau an application for approval of the
change. The application must be accompanied by an affidavit from:
(1) the person charged with enforcing a zoning ordinance
described in this subsection; or
(2) the zoning enforcement officer under IC 36-7-4, if one
exists;
who has jurisdiction over the real property where the applicant wants
to operate as a dealer. The affidavit must state that the proposed
location is zoned for the operation of a dealer's establishment. The
bureau may not approve a change of location or endorse a change of
location on the dealer's license until the dealer provides the affidavit.
(e) For the purpose of this section, an offsite license issued under
section 7 of this chapter does not constitute a change of location.
