 | Buying for personal use in Mississippi? You have the green light!This means you can purchase clean and salvage titled vehicles without business licenses.

In Mississippi, dealers, dismantlers, general businesses and exporters are recommended to provide Copart an operational license, and a sales tax license for the same physical address, as well as sales tax exemption forms. This expands bidding eligibility for those looking to buy in states that do require licenses.
The Mississippi Department of Revenue issues all dealer and dismantler licenses. Your local municipality can set you up with business licenses, such as the Privilege License and Home Occupation Permit.
The Mississippi Department of Revenue is also your stop for the Permit to Engage in Business of Selling Tangible Personal Property or Services Taxable under the Sales Tax Law. A dealer or dismantler license with a sales tax number is also accepted.
