A license may not be issued until the applicant furnishes proof satisfactory to the director
that the applicant has and will continue to maintain an established place of business. An
established central place of business means a permanent enclosed building or structure either
owned or leased with a stated periodic rental, at which a permanent business of bartering,
trading, and selling of motor-powered recreational vehicles, the repair, maintenance, and
servicing of motor-powered recreational vehicles and the storage of parts and accessories of
motor-powered recreational vehicles will be carried out in good faith and not for the purpose of
evading this section, and where the business books, records, and files must be maintained, and
does not mean a residence, tents, temporary stands, or other temporary quarters, nor
permanent quarters occupied pursuant to any temporary arrangement. The central place of
business may consist of several buildings or structures, but a building or structure may not be
located beyond one thousand feet [304.8 meters] from any other buildings or structures of the
central place of business. The central place of business must be located within this state. The
licensee must be permitted to use unimproved lots and premises for sales, storage, or display of
motor-powered recreational vehicles. A nonrefundable fee of fifty dollars will be charged for
each inspection and must accompany each initial application for a motor-powered recreational
vehicle dealer's license. Any dealer violating this chapter must be assessed a one hundred
dollar fee by the department for a first violation and a two hundred dollar fee by the department
for a second violation within two years of the first violation. The department shall suspend the
license of a motor-powered recreational vehicle dealer licensed under this chapter if a third or
subsequent violation of this chapter occurs within five years of the first violation.
