Arizona Revised Statutes Section 44-1641 requires secondhand dealers to maintain transaction records and report purchased property to law enforcement. Maricopa County Sheriff uses the LeadsOnline reporting database; cities add their own dealer permits within their limits.
Under ARS 44-1641 through 44-1647, dealers in used goods such as electronics, jewelry, tools, and bicycles must record seller identification, item description, and serial numbers, then submit data daily to a designated law-enforcement system. Maricopa County Sheriff requires LeadsOnline reporting in unincorporated areas. Items must be held 30 days before resale to allow stolen-property recovery. Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, and Scottsdale issue separate secondhand-dealer permits with fingerprint background checks. Pawnbrokers operate under the parallel ARS 44-1621 framework. Failing to record or report can trigger trafficking-stolen-property investigations under ARS 13-2307.
Failure to report or maintain records is a Class 6 felony under ARS 44-1648, up to 18 months prison. Knowingly receiving stolen property is a Class 4 felony under ARS 13-2307. License suspension also applies in cities.
