The City Council believes a local licensing system for retailers that sell non-cigarette tobacco products is appropriate to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the youth in Lakewood.
The Lakewood City Council passed Ordinance O-2019-1 on January 28, 2019 adding a new chapter 5.06 to the Lakewood Municipal Code requiring retailers that sell non-cigarette tobacco products to be licensed.
All prior city sales tax must be paid before the license for a renewal will be approved. For more information about your sales or use taxes, visit the
Business Licensing & Tax webpage or by phone at 303-987-7630.
