Secondhand dealers operating in Nassau County, including thrift, vintage, jewelry, and electronics resellers, are licensed at the town or village level with police-department reporting requirements for items received.
Nassau County's secondhand dealer rules are administered by the towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, plus the cities of Glen Cove and Long Beach. Dealers typically must register with the local clerk and the police department, maintain transaction logs identifying sellers, and report newly received items so police can check stolen-property databases. Hold periods (often 7-30 days) apply before resale. Pawnbrokers operate under stricter NY General Business Law §40-49 rules. Failure to maintain logs or to report transactions can result in license suspension and criminal charges for receiving stolen property.
Operating without a license, failing to log transactions, ignoring hold periods, or knowingly receiving stolen property can lead to fines, license revocation, and criminal charges.
