TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Adrienne N. Breitfelder, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Approval of Retail Tobacco, Tobacco Products, Alternative Nicotine
Products, Vapor Products, and Device Permit Applications
DATE: January 14, 2026
Pursuant to Iowa Code §453A.47A and §453E.3, a retail permit is required to sell tobacco,
tobacco products, alternative nicotine products, vapor products, or devices at any place
of business or through delivery sales within the state of Iowa. All permits expire annually
on June 30 and are classified as either device retailer permits, or retail tobacco permits,
with the latter covering tobacco, tobacco products, alternative nicotine products, and
vapor products. The Iowa Department of Revenue (IDOR) administers the retail
permitting requirements outlined in these sections and coordinates with local
governments on permit approvals. The City Clerk's Office is responsible for processing
all permit applications for businesses located within city limits. Once a completed
application is received, it is approved by the City Council before it is submitted to the
IDOR for further action.
Upon confirmation that the City Clerk's Office has received the completed applications, I
recommend approving the permits for retail tobacco, tobacco products, alternative
nicotine products, vapor products, and device effective from January 21, 2026, to June
30, 2026, for the following retailers.
