Secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers in Hennepin County must hold a city license and report transactions to the Automated Pawn System used by Minneapolis Police and the Sheriff.
Stores buying used merchandise, precious metals, or accepting pawn collateral within Hennepin County operate under city licensing rules backed by Minn. Stat. 325J for pawnbrokers. Most cities, including Minneapolis, Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, and Richfield, require electronic transaction reporting through the Automated Pawn System (APS), seller identification, and a hold period before resale to support stolen-property recovery. License fees and inspection access are standard. Dealers must keep transaction logs available to law enforcement during business hours.
Buying used goods without a license, failing to upload APS records, or reselling within the hold window brings fines, suspension, or revocation.
