Don’t let the office requirement hold up your license
You’ve done the work. You’ve taken the pre-license class, lined up your bond, and you’re ready to start brokering cars. Then you hit the wall every new dealer hits: Georgia won’t issue your used car dealer license until you have a real, compliant place of business.
You can’t run it out of your house in most of metro Atlanta. You don’t want to sign a long, expensive commercial lease for a space you barely need. And the state has specific rules about square footage, signage, and phone lines that a regular office rental won’t check off.

How our offices meet Georgia’s requirements
Built for auto brokers, not just any tenant
Georgia’s Board of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers requires every dealer, including office-only auto brokers, to have an established place of business that meets specific criteria. Here’s how our spaces line up:
- Minimum office size. Georgia requires a dedicated office of at least 288 square feet for an office-based dealer. Our offices meet and exceed that, with room to actually work.
- A real commercial building. Your office is in a professional commercial building, fully separate from any living space, which is exactly what the state requires.
- Permanent signage. The state requires a permanent sign and, for office-based dealers in a multi-suite building, your business name on the building directory and on your suite door. We help you get compliant signage in place.
- A listed landline. Georgia requires a working landline listed in your business name (not a cell or cordless phone). We can help you set up a compliant phone line at your space.
- Zoning. Our buildings are zoned for commercial business use, so you’re not stuck chasing down zoning approvals on your own.
- Application photos. The state wants photos of your building and signage submitted with your application. We’ll help you get the shots you need, the right way, the first time.
Quick note: state rules can change. We’ll always point you to the current Georgia requirements so your setup is up to date, but we make it our business to keep our spaces dealer-ready.

Serving auto brokers across metro Atlanta
The Exchange at Decatur sits inside I-285 with direct access to I-20 and Memorial Drive, which puts most of the metro inside a comfortable drive. Georgia does not require your office to be near your customers. It requires your office to be compliant. Brokers come to us from across the region because the space passes and the commute is reasonable.
DeKalb County. We are in Decatur, so Avondale Estates, Tucker, Clarkston, Stone Mountain, Chamblee, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, and Lithonia are all a short drive. This is our home county and the fastest setup.
Fulton County and the city of Atlanta. Downtown, Midtown, East Atlanta, Grant Park, and the West End are fifteen to twenty minutes out on I-20. East Point, College Park, and Sandy Springs brokers use us regularly.
Gwinnett County. Lawrenceville, Duluth, Norcross, Snellville, and Lilburn connect straight down I-85 to I-285. Gwinnett has one of the densest independent dealer populations in the state and a lot of those operators start as office-based brokers.
Clayton County. Jonesboro, Forest Park, Morrow, and Riverdale reach us via I-675 and I-285. Convenient if you are working auctions on the south side.
Cobb County. Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, and Austell brokers use the top end of the perimeter to get here.
Henry, Rockdale, and Newton Counties. Stockbridge, McDonough, Conyers, and Covington are a straight shot in on I-20 East.
If you are running an office-based brokerage anywhere in the twenty-county metro, this works as your licensed established place of business.
FAQ
Georgia Dealer License Office: Common Questions
Do I need a physical office to get a used car dealer license in Georgia? Yes. Georgia requires every used car dealer, including office-only auto brokers, to have an established place of business. In most of metro Atlanta you can’t use your home, so a compliant commercial office like ours is the simplest path.
How big does the office need to be? Georgia requires a dedicated dealer office of at least 288 square feet. Our spaces meet that requirement with room to work and meet clients.
What’s the difference between an auto broker and a used car dealer in Georgia? In Georgia there isn’t a separate broker license. Brokers and retail dealers hold the same used car dealer license. The practical difference is zoning: if your location isn’t zoned to store vehicle inventory, you operate as a broker from an office. Our offices fit that broker setup.
Will my office at The Exchange pass the state inspection? Our spaces are set up to meet Georgia’s requirements for an office-based dealer, including size, signage, and a separate commercial building. We’ll help you get your signage and application photos right. Final approval is always up to the state, but we make it our job to get you dealer-ready.
Do you help with the signage and the photos for my application? Yes. We help you get compliant signage in place and get the building and signage photos the state wants with your application.
How much does it cost? Offices start at ~$300/month with flexible lease terms, so you’re not locked into a long, expensive commitment just to get licensed.
