COVID-19 UPDATE
In light of the circumstances we are facing with COVID-19, the Auto Dealers Detail has made changes to how we operate to keep the public and our staff safe. At this time, the Houston Permitting Center is limiting the number of people in the building to those with appointments.
To lower the risk of exposure, we will be accepting applications via mail to provide applicants an alternative method of acquiring required licenses.
Please complete the appropriate application form for your license type. Please print, sign, and submit the completed application along with all required documents and payment. The application will not be accepted with any scratch outs or crossed out information and must include payment. Only business checks, cashier’s checks, and money orders will be accepted forms of payment; be sure to include your full name and driver’s license number on your payment.
