Fredericton · Bylaw No. R-11

Not a daily report.An on-demand register.

Fredericton's Bylaw R-11 works differently from most cities in this series — it's inspection-based, not a proactive daily feed. Any peace officer can demand the register during business hours, or remove it for up to 72 hours.

Report To LEADS gives you a place to keep that register — always ready, never scrambled together — built around what Bylaw R-11 addresses. Knowing which requirements apply to your shop is your responsibility — this page is general information, not legal advice. $49/month CAD, price locked for 5 years.

What The Bylaw Addresses

Bylaw R-11, section by section

This is general information, not legal advice. This page is sourced from a direct read of Bylaw No. R-11's consolidated text — but by-laws change, and your shop is responsible for knowing which requirements currently apply to it. Confirm with the City of Fredericton and the Fredericton Police Force.
§3.01 / §4.01

The register

Every pawnbroker and second-hand dealer records item description (make/model/serial), price paid or credit extended, precise date/time, and the seller's name, address, signature, and government-issued photo ID details.

§3.02 / §4.02

Inspection, not a feed

Any peace officer may demand the register at reasonable times during business hours, and may remove it for up to 72 hours for inspection at police headquarters.

§5.12

24-month retention

Records must be kept on the licensed premises for at least 24 months.

§3.10

Hold period

Pawned goods can't be sold before the later of the redemption date or 30 days from the pawn date. No equivalent hold applies to outright second-hand purchases.

§5.06–5.08

Licensing

A $100 annual fee per shop, expiring December 31. Adjacent pawn/second-hand operations may combine under one licence.

§6.06–6.07

Penalties

A second conviction within 5 years, or a Criminal Code §354 stolen-property conviction within 5 years, triggers mandatory licence revocation.

The Same Counter Routine

What changes at your counter? Almost nothing.

Scan the ID

One scan fills the seller's name, address, signature capture, and government ID details the register requires. Repeat customers: already on file.

Ring the transaction

Item, brand, model, serial, price. Receipt prints, and the register enforces the 30-day-or-redemption hold before an item can sell.

Walk away

The register is always current — ready the moment an officer asks, not scrambled together after the fact. Where FPF uses LEADS Online, a report also goes there automatically.

Asked & Answered

The questions Fredericton dealers actually ask

General information sourced from a direct read of Bylaw No. R-11 — not legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the City of Fredericton and the Fredericton Police Force.

What does Fredericton's Bylaw No. R-11 actually address?

Every pawnbroker and second-hand dealer keeps a written or electronic register recording item description (make/model/serial), price paid, date/time, and the seller's name, address, signature, and government ID details. Records are kept on-site at least 24 months. Pawned goods can't be sold before the later of the redemption date or 30 days from the pawn date.

Does Fredericton require a daily report to police?

No — this is genuinely different from most other cities in this series. Bylaw R-11 is inspection-based, not a proactive daily feed: any peace officer may demand the register at reasonable times during business hours and may physically remove it for up to 72 hours for inspection at police headquarters.

Does the Fredericton Police Force use LeadsOnline, RAPID/BWI, or its own system?

Not confirmed. The bylaw names no reporting platform, and no FPF page or news coverage found confirms which system, if any, is used alongside the register requirement.

How much does a Fredericton pawnbroker or second-hand dealer licence cost?

Per the current consolidated bylaw text, $100.00 per licence, per shop, expiring December 31 each year.

Can the price be increased?

No. The price is guaranteed not to increase for 5 years.
