Consumer protection matters are handled by the Consumer Protection Division, which investigates and mediates consumer complaints and tenant-landlord disputes to determine whether consumer protection laws have been violated. The division provides a complaint history on county businesses to assist consumers with pre-purchase information, supports homeowner associations in the county, licenses and regulates taxicab drivers and operators, peddlers, solicitors, precious metal and gem dealers, pawnbrokers, massage establishments and therapists, and Going-Out-of-Business sales.
