RENEWAL APPLICATIONS

All issued CCBLs have a 5-year renewal period.

Cannabis Cultivation Business License ("CCBL") holders will receive an automatic email communication via Accela at 90/60/30 days prior to their current CCBL expiring. CCBL holders should log onto their Accela Citizen Portal to start the renewal process after receiving this renewal notification. If no action is taken by the CCBL holder, the renewal application will expire. Expired applications will be required to submit a new CCBL application subject to current Mendocino County Code (“MCC”) 10(A).17 and 20.242 requirements.

• There is a renewal application fee that includes the renewal inspection.
• Changes to the site plan on file will result in an additional modification fee.

• Please reference the Division Fee Schedule for current application fees.

RENEWAL INSPECTIONS

The Division will be using the below CCBL Renewal Quality Control for Inspections: 

• A physical site inspection must be conducted at least every 5 years 
• At least 5% of all in program applications and CCBLs will be randomly selected for a priority inspection annually.  
• Factors utilized to determine whether renewal or random inspections will be physical or remote may include: 
  • Does the CCBL have a confirmed deviation between submitted site plan and aerial imagery and/or history of non-compliance with the Division or other regulatory agencies? 
  • If viewed remotely does the CCBL location appear to be consistent with the most current site plan on file?
