The Ohio Department of Public Safety Bureau of Motor Vehicles requires the use of the BMV 4319 form as a critical document for establishing and verifying the franchise relationship between manufacturers or distributors and dealers within the state. This form is meticulously designed to gather comprehensive information including, but not limited to, the names and contact details of the business entities involved, the specific makes and types of vehicles the dealership is franchised to sell, and whether there is any overlap with existing franchises within a specified radius. It also delves into compliance with specific Ohio Revised Code sections pertinent to the automotive industry's regulatory framework, ensuring that all parties adhere to the legal prerequisites for such business operations. Ensuring the correct and professional completion of this form is integral, as it not only affirms the franchise agreement but also serves as a formal notification to the BMV regarding any changes in the dealership's franchise status, in line with Ohio's legal requirements. Moreover, the requirement for signatures from authorized representatives of both the manufacturer or distributor and the dealership, duly notarized, underscores the form's importance in the verification and legitimacy of dealership operations. This document plays a pivotal role in the automotive sector's regulatory landscape, facilitating transparent and lawful business transactions among manufacturers, distributors, and dealers within Ohio.
