Tulsa secondhand goods dealers and pawnbrokers must record every transaction, photograph items, verify seller ID, and report data daily to police through electronic reporting systems to help recover stolen property.
Tulsa Title 3 regulates secondhand dealers, scrap metal yards, and similar resellers. Dealers must obtain a city occupation tax license, keep transaction logs with seller name, address, government ID, and item description, and hold purchased items for a waiting period (typically 14-30 days) before resale. Most dealers report transactions electronically through LeadsOnline or BWI to Tulsa Police, allowing detectives to flag stolen merchandise. Oklahoma Statute Title 59 also licenses precious-metal dealers separately. Violations include receiving stolen property, which is a felony under Oklahoma law.
Failing to record sales, skipping ID verification, ignoring the holding period, or failing to report transactions can revoke the city license and lead to criminal receiving-stolen-property charges.
