§ 46.2-1910. Dealers required to have established place of business
No license shall be issued to any T&M vehicle dealer unless he has an established place of business, owned or leased by him, where a substantial portion of the sales activity of the business is routinely conducted and which:
1. Satisfies all local zoning regulations;
2. Has sales, service, and office space devoted exclusively to the dealership of at least 250 square feet in a permanent, enclosed building not used as a residence;
3. Houses all records the dealer is required to maintain by § 46.2-1929;
4. Is equipped with a desk, chairs, filing space, a working telephone listed in the name of the dealership, and working utilities including electricity and provisions for space heating;
5. Displays a sign and business hours as required by this chapter; and
6. Has contiguous space designated for the exclusive use of the dealer adequate to permit the display of at least ten T&M vehicles.
However, any licensee engaging in business exclusively as a dealer in used mobile homes without inventory need not have contiguous display space and need have only 120 square feet of sales and office space devoted exclusively to its business.
Any person licensed by the Department as a dealer under any provision of this subtitle on June 30, 1996, shall be considered in compliance with subdivisions 2 and 6 of this section for that licensee.
