What is L_006_F FORM - C?
The tire dealer license limits and conditions form is a one-page City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) document that outlines the limits and conditions of the Tire Dealer License, covering how tires and tire byproducts may be stored, protected and documented.
The form is numbered as ten conditions:
- No storage of tires or tire byproducts on sidewalks (rights of way) or streets.
- No outdoor storage or display unless approved by L&I and compliant with Section 3405 of the Philadelphia Fire Code. Display piles up to 6 feet high, in a single column or row, are permitted if stable and drained.
- Indoor storage no higher than 6 feet unless L&I approves it through a Certificate of Occupancy.
- Storage no longer or wider than 50 feet, and no more than 25 feet along one wall.
- Neat storage with clear aisles of at least 36 inches (public access) or 28 inches (non-public access).
- Conspicuous signs prohibiting SMOKING and OPEN BURNING.
- Fire extinguishers maintained under Section 906 of the Philadelphia Fire Code.
- Tire buffing in a room with 1-hour fire-resistance-rated assemblies.
- A tire manifest kept on-site.
- Current certifications for all fire protection systems.
L&I's automotive business page lists this document next to the tire dealer license application, the tire dealer operation information form and a sample tire dealer manifest. This form is the conditions document, not the application.
Who needs to file L_006_F FORM - C?
Businesses that hold, or are applying for, a Tire Dealer License from the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) are the audience for this form, because it states the limits and conditions of that license. L&I's page describes the tire dealer license application as the one used to store tires at your business location.
Different people are named for different conditions:
- The business operating the tire storage must keep storage, aisles, signage and extinguishers within the limits above.
- A business with tire buffing inside the same facility must follow the separation rule in condition 8.
- The inspector named in condition 10 submits fire protection system certifications annually through eclipse.phila.gov.
The form does not say who signs it and has no signature block. It is not an application: the tire dealer license application is a separate L&I document. Automotive businesses that do not store tires, such as fuel or towing operations, are served by other L&I forms listed on the same page.
When to file L_006_F FORM - C
The form prints no due date and has no filing step of its own. It states the conditions of the Tire Dealer License, so review it when you apply for that license, which L&I's page says is for storing tires at your business location, and keep following it while the license is in force.
One recurring date appears in condition 10: current certifications for all fire protection systems must be maintained, and the inspector is required to submit them annually through eclipse.phila.gov. For the timing of the license application and renewals, check the L&I application materials; L&I says the tire dealer operation information form goes with all new and renewal tire dealer license applications.
Documents you need
- Tire manifest, kept on-site and made available to the Department of Licenses and Inspections upon request (condition 9).
- Current certifications for all fire protection systems, maintained at the business and submitted annually by the inspector through eclipse.phila.gov (condition 10).
- Certificate of Occupancy, only if you want indoor tire storage higher than 6 feet; L&I must approve it through that certificate (condition 3).

- Storing tires indoors above 6 feet without a Certificate of Occupancy that approves it.
- Letting storage exceed 50 feet in length or width, or 25 feet when it is adjacent or along one wall.
- Keeping aisles narrower than 36 inches for public access or 28 inches for non-public access, or blocking access to exits.
- Failing to post conspicuous SMOKING and OPEN BURNING prohibition signs in and around tire storage areas.
- Running tire buffing inside the facility outside a room separated by 1-hr fire resistance rated assemblies.
- Not keeping a tire manifest on-site, or not having it ready for the Department on request.
