CITY AND COUNTY LICENSING

Securing a local (city or county) permit is crucial for any new or established cannabis business to operate in compliance with California medical and recreational cannabis laws.  A commercial cannabis application can be time consuming and expensive, and will require a substantial amount of preparation, organization, and due diligence.  While the requirements for each city or county may differ, there are a few constants that most cities will ask for, such as:

• The names of the individuals that manage and own your entity
•  A background check on all owners and mangers
•  Corporate registration and governance documents (Articles of incorporation, bylaws, etc)
•  Property description (i.e., city zoning map)
•  Project description
• Property owner’s authorization and acknowledgment of cannabis activity
•  Security plan
•  Filing fee
