- 1). Choose a location for the auction with an enclosed building that can have a land phone line. Verify that vehicle storage does not overlap sidewalks or use the street. Contact the local city hall for zoning requirements and specific forms to complete. If the business is not in with a city's limits the local parish (county) must execute a zoning form.
- 2). Affix a sign with the name of the business, as it will appear on the license application, in front of the business. The sign must be clearly visible for at least 16 square feet and is subject to local zoning laws. Take a picture of the sign.
- 3). Complete the auction dealer license application. The information on the application includes driver’s license number and social security number. Sign the document and have the form notarized.
- 4). Complete the salesman application. This form requires physical information such as height and weight in addition to driver’s license number and social security number. Have this form notarized after its completion.
- 5). Remit a check or money order for the correct fees. Contact the Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission at 225-925-3870 to verify the fees.
Make copies of all forms and other documents. Submit the forms, the picture of the sign, and the fee payment to:
Recreational & Used Motor Vehicle Commission
3132 Valle Creek Drive
Baton Rouge, LA 70808
The office will contact you to schedule a physical inspection of the auction before a license is issued.
