California caps charges with a table for the first three months and 3% a month after month 3 (Fin. Code §21200.5 and §21201, as described in a 2024 Senate Judiciary analysis). Loans of $2,500 or more are exempt from those limits.

License

California does not publish a downloadable statewide list of licensed pawn shops that we could match, so we cannot confirm the license here. Pawn shops must show their license in the store.
