Partners,

Heads up! Our BLS applications and DOR tax information system will down overnight tonight.
It's routine systems maintenance as our IT teams apply critical security patches to our servers. 

Systems will be down:

8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19

to

6 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Marijuana business applications accepted Monday

At 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 18, the state Business Licensing Service will begin accepting applications for marijuana business licenses.

Completed applications and related addenda must be received by 5 p.m. on Dec. 19 in order to be considered. Mailed applications must be postmarked by Dec. 19.

Applicants for marijuana business licenses should request all other licenses and registrations that their particular business may need at the time of application. This could include a city business license if the proposed location is within city limits of a city partnered with BLS. The applicant may need to submit other additional forms and pay all the respective licensing fees due, including BLS processing fees.

BLS has worked closely with the state Liquor Control Board to implement Initiative 502. We have provided some specific information on costs, timelines, and requirements on this page. Please review.

You may direct businesses with questions to online resources or to call 1-800-451-7985.
