Lawrenceville, GA

Short answer: In Lawrenceville, Georgia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a mobile home reselling business, that means the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
Georgia calls its seller's permit the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number. Homes bought to be resold can be purchased without tax at the point of acquisition using dealer documentation, while sales to end buyers follow your area's rules.
Tip: Inspect each unit's title and tie-down history before you buy; the price is lower for a reason when there is no paperwork.
