About the Agency

The Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (MVDB) was established in 1995 by overwhelming support from the General Assembly and the dealer community as the state agency charged with the regulation and oversight of the new and used car and truck dealer industry. MVDB has a dedicated staff in Richmond, Virginia as well as Field Representatives located throughout the Commonwealth to service licensing and education, consumer assistance, and field inspections. Effective July 1, 2015 the General Assembly unanimously adopted HB2189 which expanded the Board’s responsibilities to include the licensing and regulatory responsibility for recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and trailer dealers from DMV to MVDB.
