SUBJECT: Approval of Retail Tobacco, Tobacco Products, Alternative Nicotine
Products, Vapor Products, and Device Permit Applications
DATE: April 4, 2025
Pursuant to Iowa Code §453A.47A, a retail permit is required to sell tobacco, tobacco
products, alternative nicotine products, or vapor products at any place of business or
through delivery sales. All permits provided for in Iowa Code §453A.47A expire on June
30 of each year and require payment of the applicable fee established in Iowa Code
§453A.47A(7). The Iowa Department of Revenue implements the retail permit
requirements of Iowa Code §453A.47A. The City Clerk's Office issues all permits for
retailers located within city limits. As part of the retail permit process, the Iowa Department
of Revenue requires applications be approved by the city council once the city receives
the completed application and appropriate fee.
During the 2024 legislative session, the Iowa legislature enacted Senate File 345, which
regulates and taxes the sale of devices effective January 1, 2025. Per the legislation, a
"device" is defined as any equipment or product, made in whole or in part of glass or
metal, that is designed for use in inhaling through combustion tobacco, hemp, other plant
materials, or a controlled substance. Based on this legislation, we have included 'device'
in the permit approval resolution and will indicate the permit type for which each business
has applied.
Upon confirmation that the City Clerk's Office has received the completed applications
through the State of Iowa's GovConnectlowa portal, I recommend approving retail permits
for Tobacco, Device, Alternative Nicotine, and Vapor Products for the following retailers.
