Recently the City of
Burbank
adopted a new Tobacco Retailers Licensing Ordinance.
This ordinance requires all businesses which sell tobacco products
and/or tobacco-related accessories, to acquire a regulatory City of
Burbank
business license for this purpose.
It is the intent of this ordinance to assist in the prevention of
illegal tobacco sales to underage persons (under the age of 18 years old) in
the City of
Burbank
. Do not confuse this City of
Burbank
regulatory licensing requirement with the State of
California Tobacco Retailers License
which you currently possess.
The license is to be renewed annually and is valid from July 1
through June 30. This license is
not transferable if a business is taken over by a new owner.
The City of
Burbank Tobacco Retailers License
is only attainable to businesses in
Burbank
which have a fixed location and will not be issued to any mobile businesses
such as catering trucks, food peddlers, or ice cream trucks.
It
is now illegal to sell any tobacco products or tobacco-related items if you
do not possess a
Burbank
Tobacco Retailers License.
Compliance checks will be conducted beginning on July 1, 2007.
If you have any questions, need assistance with understanding the ordinance
or require an application for a license, please call the License and Code
Services Division at (818) 238-5280.
