The Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector (ACTTC) is pleased to announce the availability of cannabis microbusiness licenses for businesses operating within the unincorporated areas of the county.

This new licensing option allows eligible businesses to combine multiple cannabis activities (at least three activity types)-such as cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail-under a single license, streamlining operations and regulatory compliance.

Key Points

Eligibility: To qualify for a county cannabis microbusiness license, businesses must first hold a valid microbusiness license issued by the State of California.

Activities Covered: A microbusiness license permits the combination of at least three of the following activities: cultivation (less than 10,000 square feet), manufacturing, distribution, and retail sales.

Application Process

State License: Secure a microbusiness license from the California Department of Cannabis Control.

Local Approval: Obtain land use authorization from the County Planning and Building Department.

County Application: Complete the County Cannabis Business License application through the Sheriff's Office.

Businesses that currently hold multiple licenses (three or more) may be eligible to convert their licenses to a microbusiness license. For more information on this process, please contact the Tax Collector's office.
