- *** An inspection of the Dealer’s place of business must be conducted by a DWR Conservation Police Officer before the license can be issued. This inspection is for the purpose of verifying an “established place of business” which means a salesroom in a permanent enclosed building or structure, either owned in fee or leased, at which a permanent business of bartering, trading and selling of watercraft will be carried on as such in good faith and at which place of business shall be kept and maintained the books, records, and files necessary to conduct the business at such place. “Established place of business” does not mean residences, tents, temporary stands, or other temporary quarters, nor permanent quarters occupied pursuant to any temporary arrangement, devoted principally to the business of a watercraft dealer.
