Fresno secondhand dealers must register with the state DOJ, hold reportable goods 30 days, and submit electronic transaction reports to FPD under California Business & Professions Code Section 21625.
California's secondhand dealer law (BPC §21625-21647) preempts local licensing but requires every dealer to obtain a state DOJ permit and register with the local police chief. Fresno dealers must report all reportable transactions to LeadsOnline daily, hold tangible goods for 30 days before resale, and verify seller ID. FPD detectives use the system to track stolen property recoveries. Pawnbrokers fall under separate but parallel rules. Coin and bullion exempt under specific BPC carve-outs.
Failure to report transactions, premature sale within the 30-day hold, or not verifying seller ID is a misdemeanor with fines and possible permit revocation.
