Garland County, AR Business Licensing & Operations: Pawnbrokers (2026)

Section 50-31 requires every pawnshop and pawnbroker in the county to keep a detailed record of all property pawned, bought or traded, retained for five years. The record must include the pawn ticket number, the owner's name and address, the owner's driver's license and social security number, a detailed description of the article including any serial or identification number, and the owner's date of birth, race, sex, height and weight, along with the owner's signature verifying the record's accuracy. Section 50-32 requires pawnbrokers to furnish duplicate copies of those records to the county sheriff for whatever period the sheriff deems necessary to enforce criminal law or aid an investigation, and the duplicates must be available for inspection by the sheriff or any deputy at all reasonable times.

§ 9-26-104. 00 per offense, and each day a pawnshop fails to furnish the sheriff's required reports, or fails to keep duplicates available for inspection, counts as a separate offense. All four sections trace back to Ordinance No. O-93-16, adopted May 10, 1993.
