The tire dealer operation information form is the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) supplement that describes how a tire dealer's business stores and handles tires. It is one of the materials behind a Philadelphia business license for tire storage, and L&I asks for it with all new and all renewal Tire Dealer License applications. On this page you can fill out the form online on FillingPDF and download or print the completed PDF; L&I publishes the original form and the rest of the automotive license materials on its own website.

What is L_006_F?
The Tire Dealer Operation Information form is the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) supplement that describes how a tire dealer stores tires, and L&I requires it with every new and renewal Tire Dealer License application.
The form is printed as L_006_F, FORM - B, Rev 11.2022, and runs one page. Its header calls it a supplemental prerequisite for licensure and lists two items: zoning use approval and a certificate of occupancy. Part A identifies the business by name and location and carries the business owner's signature, confirming that the owner has read the Tire Dealer License Limits & Conditions Form. Part B records the operation: where tires are stored (outdoors, indoors or both), whether they are waste or new tires, whether piles exceed 6 feet, the type of fire protection system, the kind of business, a description of the activity and the waste haulers under contract. A declaration and applicant signature close the form.
It is not the license application. L&I publishes a separate Tire dealer license application, the Tire dealer license limits and conditions form and a sample Tire dealer manifest on the same automotive business license materials page.
Who needs to file L_006_F?
Businesses applying to L&I for a Tire Dealer License use this form, whether the application is new or a renewal. The form itself says to complete and submit it with all NEW Tire Dealer License applications and all Tire Dealer License RENEWAL applications, and the L&I automotive page repeats that.
- Tire dealers storing tires indoors, outdoors or both. Every applicant completes Part B. Outdoor storage requires approval from the Department.
- Businesses with piles taller than 6 feet. These are subject to high pile storage requirements and must be approved by the Department; they must also submit a Certificate of Occupancy.
- Businesses that use waste haulers. Part B (g) asks you to list all Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection registered waste haulers you have contracted with for tire removal.
- Business owners and authorized applicants. The business owner signs Part A. The applicant signs the declaration and certifies being authorized by the owner to make the application.
The form is not a stand-alone license: it supports the Tire Dealer License application and does not replace it.
When to file L_006_F
Submit the form whenever you file a Tire Dealer License application with L&I, whether it is a new application or a renewal. It has no separate due date printed on it: it travels with the license application, and the form instructs you to complete and submit it with all new and all renewal applications. Because the form lists zoning use approval and a certificate of occupancy as supplemental prerequisites for licensure, and requires a Certificate of Occupancy when pile heights exceed 6 feet, have those documents ready before you apply. L&I's page gives no processing time for this form; check with L&I for the license timeline.
Documents you need
- Site plan, if you store tires outdoors: it must show pile location, dimensions of each tire pile (including height), distance between piles and distance from piles to all property and building lines.
- Certificate of Occupancy, required with all applications whose tire pile heights exceed 6 feet.
- Current certifications of all fire protection systems (fire sprinkler system, fire alarm), submitted with the application.
- Tire Dealer License application, which this form accompanies for every new and renewal application.
- Zoning use approval and certificate of occupancy, the two supplemental prerequisites for licensure listed at the top of the form.

- In person: take the application, with this form, to the Permit and License Center in the MSB Concourse.
- Do not mail applications. L&I states this on its automotive business license materials page, found at https://www.phila.gov/documents/automotive-business-license-materials/.
Include with the form the attachments it calls for, where they apply to your business: a site plan for outdoor storage, a Certificate of Occupancy if piles exceed 6 feet, and current certifications of all fire protection systems. The form names no fee; ask L&I about license fees. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mailing the application package to L&I; the agency states that applications must not be mailed.
- Submitting the form only with a new application and leaving it out of a renewal; it is required with both.
- Checking outdoor storage without a site plan showing pile location, dimensions and height, distances between piles and distances to property and building lines.
- Reporting pile heights over 6 feet without a Certificate of Occupancy; such piles also need Department approval under high pile storage requirements.
- Naming a fire protection system in Part B (d) without submitting its current certification.
- Signing Part A without having read the Tire Dealer License Limits & Conditions Form.
- Leaving out waste hauler details in Part B (g), including the PA DEP Waste Hauler No. and Commercial Waste Activity License No., when you contract for tire removal.
- Not keeping a manifest tracking all tire removals, which the form says you must maintain.
- Leaving the declaration unsigned or undated at the bottom of the form.
