R877-23V-8. Signs and Identification Pursuant to Utah Code Ann. Section 41-3-105.

(1) Every dealer, dismantler, manufacturer, remanufacturer, transporter, crusher, and body shop must post a sign at its principal place of business.

(2) The sign required under Subsection (1) shall:

(a) plainly display in a permanent manner the name under which the business is licensed;

(b) be at least 24 square feet in size, unless required otherwise, in writing, by a government entity; and

(c) be painted on the building, attached to the building with nails or bolts, or affixed to posts that have been securely anchored in the ground.

(3) A similar sign must be conspicuously posted at each additional place of business and must show, in addition, the address of the principal place of business. All signs must remain posted at each place of business and on the office. If the office is not located at the site on which the motor vehicles are displayed or offered for sale or exchange, the bonded dealer number, dismantler number, or manufacturer number must also be conspicuously displayed either on the sign or on the building.

(4) If the additional place of business is an auto show or similar business that will conduct business for ten days or less, the sign need only show the licensee's name as licensed by the division and be of a size that reasonably identifies the licensee.

(5) No place of business may be operated under a name other than that by which the licensee is licensed by the division. No sign may be posted at a place of business that shows a business name other than the one licensed by the division or gives the impression that the business is other than the one licensed by the division. However, a sign containing a variation of the licensee's name, if a variation of the licensee's name is required by a manufacturer in writing, may be posted as long as the sign containing the licensed name is more prominent.

(6) Documents submitted by a licensee to a government entity shall be identified only by the name under which the licensee is licensed by the division. All documents used by the licensee to promote or transact a sale or lease of a vehicle shall identify that licensee only by the name under which the licensee is licensed with the division.
