Marijuana License Surrender Process

The Licensee must submit a Notice of Intent to Surrender Form their Marijuana Business License using the official online form.

Upon receipt of the surrender request, Licensing staff will route the request for internal approvals:

• City Sales Tax Office
• Environmental Investment and Offset Fund (EIOF) – only for Cultivation Licensees

Once all required departmental approvals are received, Licensing staff will coordinate with the city’s Marijuana enforcement officer to schedule a final walkthrough of the licensed Premises.

Fees Must Be Paid The surrender process cannot proceed until the Licensee has:

• Paid all outstanding city Sales Tax obligations
• Paid any due EIOF fees (for Cultivation Licensees)

During the final walkthrough, the Marijuana enforcement officer will:

• Retrieve the physical City of Boulder Marijuana Business License from the Premises
• Return the license to Regulatory Licensing staff

Licensing staff will:

• Record the official surrender date in the license file
• Attach a scanned copy of the surrendered license to the Licensee’s record

Upon completion of the surrender:

• Licensing staff will notify the city’s Sales Tax office, EIOF (if applicable), and the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED)
