TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Adrienne N. Breitfelder, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Approval of Retail Tobacco Permit and Device Retailer Permit
Applications
DATE: March 4, 2026
Pursuant to Iowa Code §453A.47A, a retail tobacco permit is required for the retail sale
of cigarettes, tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor products in Iowa. Iowa Code
§453E.3 requires a device retailer permit for the retail sale of glass and metal devices in
Iowa.
The Iowa Department of Revenue (IDOR) administers the state retail permit process
through its online portal. Businesses within city limits submit their applications through
this portal, which then routes them to the City Clerk's Office for local review and approval.
After the City Council approves the applications, they are routed to IDOR for final approval
and issuance of the state permit. All permits expire annually on June 30.
Upon confirmation that the City Clerk's Office has received the completed applications, I
recommend approving the Retail Tobacco Permits and Device Retailer Permits, as
applicable, effective March 17, 2026, and expiring on June 30, 2026, for the following
retailer.
