APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE AS A MOTOR VEHICLE, MOBILE HOME, OR RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE DEALER
The Application for a License as a Motor Vehicle, Mobile Home, or Recreational Vehicle Dealer (Form HSMV 86056) is a multi-purpose form, which is used as an initial application for a dealer license as well as updating corporate officer information to a dealer license. Dealers must have a site approved, by a Regional Office, for the dealership location. Once a location is found, contact your local Regional Office to schedule an appointment to have the site inspected. A Division of Motorist Services Compliance Examiner will inspect the location. It is recommended that you do not sign a lease until the site has been approved by the Department.
Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 15C-7.003(4)(5), specifies the office and display area:
