First of all, why get a license anyway? Well, you don’t want to get caught curb stoning in fFlorida. All you have to have is one person complain and you are doing to get a fine, or worse! Di it the l et way. Get your license. A Florida Dealer License grants you unrestricted access to buy used vehicles at wholesale prices from nationwide car and truck auctions. This allows you to sell these vehicles to the public and create a steady stream of income from your passion for cars. You can sell unlimited cars per year.

Location Requirements for a Florida Dealer License:
Zoning Compliance:
Your dealership location must comply with local zoning ordinances. This means that the property must be zoned for automotive sales. GF Auto Consulting LLC can help you find suitable locations that meet these zoning requirements. We usually have 1-3 in the inventory at all times. The cost usually $750-950 per month.
Size and Capacity:
Florida state regulations require your dealership to have a minimum display area capable of accommodating at least two vehicles. Most people start out this way and then move their license to a page location when they grown. If you’re looking to set up a medium-sized dealership (5+ cars), ensure you have enough space to accommodate the required number of vehicles.
Approved Office Space:
Your dealership must have a dedicated, enclosed office space with a desk, chairs, and a working telephone. Minimum 10’X10′ office space. This space should be separate from any other businesses operating on the same property.
Signage:
Your dealership must have a permanent, professionally made sign displaying your dealership’s name. The sign must be visible from the nearest public roadway (unless you are in an office based Dealership).
Business Hours:
Florida dealerships must be open for business at least four days per week for a minimum of four hours per day.
