2014 Virginia Code
Title 46.2 - Motor Vehicles
§ 46.2-1992.14. Supplemental sales locations

The Commissioner may issue a license for a licensed trailer dealer to display for sale or sell trailers at locations other than his established place of business, subject to compliance with local ordinances and requirements. A license issued pursuant to this section shall not be required for a licensed trailer dealer to display for sale or sell trailers at wholesale auction; placing trailers for sale at wholesale auction shall not be considered a consignment.

A permanent supplemental license may be issued for premises less than 500 yards from the dealer's established place of business, provided a sign is displayed as required for the established place of business. A supplemental license shall not be required for premises otherwise contiguous to the established place of business except for a public thoroughfare.

A temporary supplemental license may be issued for a period not to exceed fourteen days, provided that the application is made fifteen days prior to the sale. A temporary supplemental license for the sale of new trailers may be issued only for locations within the dealer's area of responsibility, as defined in his franchise or sales agreement, unless certification is provided that all dealers in the same line-make in whose areas of responsibility, as defined in their franchise or sales agreements, where the temporary supplemental license is sought do not oppose the issuance of the temporary license.

However, the application for a temporary supplemental license may be made five business days prior to the sale, provided the applicant submit evidence that the location is in compliance with all local ordinances and that all other requirements of this section have been met. The application shall include affirmative proof of nonopposition in the form of letters signed by all dealers in the same line-make in whose areas of responsibility, as defined in their franchise or sales agreements, where the temporary supplemental license is sought, approving the Department's granting of the temporary supplemental license.

A temporary supplemental license for sale of used trailers may be issued only for the county, city, or town in which the dealer is licensed pursuant to § 46.2-1992.8, or for a contiguous county, city, or town. Temporary licenses may be issued without regard to the foregoing geographic restrictions where the dealer operating under a temporary license provides notice, at least thirty days before any proposed sale under a temporary license, to all other dealers licensed in the jurisdiction in which the sale will occur of the intent to conduct a sale and permits any locally licensed dealer who wishes to do so to participate in the sale on the same terms as the dealer operating under the temporary license. Any locally licensed dealer who chooses to participate in the sale must obtain a temporary supplemental license for the sale pursuant to this section.
