Pawnbroker License: Change of Corporate Structure Procedure

This procedure is designed to assist you in complying with the City of Centennial pawnbroker licensing requirements for a change of corporate structure. If you have any questions during the application process, please call the Licensing Specialist at 303-754-3381. You may obtain the necessary forms and information from the Licensing Specialist at 13133 E. Arapahoe Rd., Centennial, CO 80112, or through the City’s website on our Pawnbroker Licensing page.

1. Fill out one set of Report of Changes Form(PDF, 201KB).
2. Submit a Change of Corporate Structure Fee of $185 for each NEW corporate officer or director, or stockholder owning 20% or more of the corporate stock, payable to the City of Centennial (NON-REFUNDABLE).
   [IF THE ONLY ACTION BEING TAKEN IS THE REMOVAL OF OFFICERS, ONLY A REPORT OF CHANGE FORM IS REQUIRED. OMIT THE FEE AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS EXCEPT ITEMS 6-10].
3. The following documents must be submitted as part of the application:
   1. Individual History Report(PDF, 164KB) (IHR) must be submitted for the owner, all partners owning 20% or more, and managers. For corporations and LLCs, all officers, all directors and each stockholder owning 20% or more of the corporate stock, and the local manager must submit an IHR. View Centennial Municipal Code (CMC) Section 6.7.140.(a) for details.
   2. Identification. Submit a copy of a driver’s license, or other official document proving name and date of birth, for each person submitting an IHR. View CMC Section 6.7.140.(a) for details.
   3. Current photo for each person submitting an IHR. View CMC Section 6.7.140.(a)(4) for details.
   4. Fingerprints must be taken by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, or another law enforcement agency, prior to consideration of the application by the Licensing Specialist.
