Dealer license relief for select vehicle auctions
Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee removes the motor vehicle dealer license requirement for buying or selling certain vehicles through qualifying auctions. Eligible vehicles are previously titled antique vehicles at least 25 years old or unique motor vehicles. The venue must have at least 20,000 permanent seats. It must be in a county with 147,700 to 147,800 people, inclusive, under the 2020 federal census or a later census. The operator must hold no more than one Tennessee auction per year, offer 400 to 2,000 vehicles per auction, and have at least $25 million in net worth. The exemption ends June 30, 2027, unless the General Assembly reenacts or extends it before then.
