Retail Tobacco Permit The Dungeon LTD 302 Locust St.
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 July 21, 2026, and expiring on June 30, 2027, for the following
retailers.
