To operate a Georgia car dealership, you must obtain a license. Many car dealers must be licensed in Georgia, and various licensing requirements exist. You must perform several actions in addition to submitting a license application and paying a fee. Before the Georgia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board will issue a motor vehicle dealer license, you must purchase an automobile dealer surety bond. A bond is required for most license types. After you receive your bond, it will expire biennially. You may operate as a vehicle dealer in various ways, but bonding is a general requirement. To keep your car dealership license, you must maintain and renew your bond before its expiration date.
