Pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers in Moorpark must register with the Ventura County Sheriff and report transactions through California's Cal-CARS database to deter sale of stolen goods.
California Business and Professions Code section 21625 et seq. requires secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers to obtain a state license and report every transaction involving regulated property (jewelry, electronics, tools) to law enforcement through the Cal-CARS electronic reporting system. Moorpark businesses register with the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, which holds property for 30 days before allowing resale. Operators must record seller ID, take fingerprints when required, and retain transaction logs for at least two years.
Failing to report transactions, holding property for less than 30 days, or operating without state licensing may result in misdemeanor charges and license revocation.
