Aurora secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers must obtain a city license, hold purchased items for a state-mandated period, and report transactions to law enforcement under Colorado precious-metals and pawn statutes.
Secondhand dealers buying or selling used goods, jewelry, or precious metals in Aurora must obtain a license under Aurora City Code Chapter 26 and follow Colorado pawnbroker statutes (CRS 12-240). Dealers must record seller identification, item descriptions, and serial numbers, then report transactions through the LeadsOnline or RAPID system used by Aurora Police Department. A statutory holding period typically applies before resale, allowing law enforcement to identify stolen property. Operating hours, signage, and zoning are governed by Aurora UDO Chapter 146. Repeat reporting failures can trigger license revocation and criminal penalties.
Failure to report purchases, missing seller IDs, or selling items inside the holding period can lead to fines, license revocation, and potential criminal charges by Aurora Police Department.
