Adding a Location or Moving your Dealership

Is 2017 bringing about major changes to your dealership? Maybe you're adding a location, or moving to new digs. Whatever change you're planning, make sure that you stay on good terms with TxDMV and OCCC. Here is a quick and dirty checklist to maintain compliance both before and after your move. All notices MUST be filed at least 10 days prior to your actual move date.

Moving To a New Location or Adding A New Location Within The Same City
  • Complete the OCCC's “Amendment to a License” form (ADM-20, available at occc.state.tx.us) and mail it to the agency along with a $25 amendment fee and your original, current MVSF license. OR
  • Complete the “New Registered Office” form (MV-63). Your main location is designated by the OCCC as your “Licensed Location”, and each additional store will be considered a “Registered Office”. Mail the MV-63 form, a $455 fee, and, if you have a DBA, evidence that the assumed name has been filed with the county clerk's office or the Texas Secretary of State.

Moving To a New Location Within the Same City
  • You do not need a new license/GDN from TxDMV if you are moving to a new office within the same city. 
Moving to a New Location in a Different City
  • If you are moving to a location outside your current city limits, or from an unincorporated area into a city's limits, you are required to get a new license/GDN.
  • Complete an Application for GDN (form LF-001) and submit it along with the $700 application fee, photocopy of your ID, a new bond, and any required attachments that your organizational structure requires. 
Adding A Location Within The Same City
  • You do not need a new license/GDN from TxDMV if you are opening an additional location within the same city
  • Complete the Application to Amend Independent Motor Vehicle Dealer's License (form LF-021, available at www.txdmv.gov) and send it to the agency along with a $25 amendment fee and a rider from your bond company showing the new location. 
Adding A Location In A Different City
  • If you are adding a location in a different city or an unincorporated area, you need a new license/GDN.
  • Same as above for moving to a new location in a different city
