SUMMARY:
On occasion there are held within the City limits of Pensacola, remote motor vehicle sales. Some of these remote motor vehicle sales are conducted on property, within the City, by individuals and entities which have no established business within the boundaries of the City or of Escambia County.
The individuals and entities which conduct these transactions normally depart the area after completion of the event and there is limited or no ability for purchasers of the motor vehicles to seek necessary information and recourse from the sellers. However, sales conducted by businesses, individuals and entities which have an established business within City and/or Escambia County provide a meaningful opportunity for the seller to seek recourse in the event that problems occur with the vehicle.
The creation of this ordinance will assist in that effort by prohibiting remote vehicle sales unless such sale is conducted by a licensed dealership with sales premises located within the boundaries of Escambia County.
Due to recodification of the Code of the City of Pensacola that was published January 1, 2021, the Article, Chapter and Section of the Code was renumbered to Article IV, Chapter 7-6, Section 7-6-56. The revised Proposed Ordinance also includes language reflecting the discussion of this proposed ordinance at the January 21, 2021 City Council meeting.
