Structure
The Wisconsin MV2180 form is a crucial document for individuals and businesses looking to operate as motor vehicle salvage dealers or recyclers in the state. This two-year license application, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, collects essential information about the applicant, including their legal name, business address, and contact details. It requires details about the type of business entity—whether a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or LLC—and mandates the disclosure of any previous dealer licenses held at the same location. Applicants must also confirm compliance with local zoning regulations and provide information on their business facilities, which can vary from salvage yards to strictly indoor operations. Additionally, the form necessitates the submission of a financial statement and a licensing fee, ensuring that all applicants meet state requirements before they can commence operations. Proper local official signatures are also required, emphasizing the importance of adhering to local laws and regulations. This form is not just a bureaucratic hurdle; it serves as a foundation for responsible business practices in the salvage and recycling industry.
