In 2024, City of Loveland voters approved local retail and medical marijuana sales, allowing a limited number of retail and medical marijuana businesses to operate in Loveland, and imposing an excise tax on sales.

At this time, the City of Loveland is scheduling application consultation meetings with legacy applicants, starting Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026. This is the first step for a local marijuana license application.

Please call 962-2000 option# 9 to schedule time to discuss a current of future application. Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. The application period for non-legacy applicants will begin no earlier than Monday, June 29, 2026. 

The application consultation will cover the local licensing requirements and answer applicant questions to help ensure all application and licensing requirements can be fulfilled by the applicant. 

Local Application Information:

Local Marijuana Applications may be submitted in person to the City Clerk starting March 1st, 2026.

Local applications that are deemed legally complete will be processed in the order they are received. It is strongly recommended that applicants seek legal advice from an attorney prior to submitting their applications. The City will be unable to provide any legal advice for applications.

State applications must be submitted prior to submitting a local application, and a copy of the State application must be submitted with your local application.  Local applications that do not include the State application will be denied.  If the local application is incomplete, or if there is an issue with the payment submitted, your local application could be denied, or if it needs amendments, it may lose priority position.

If you submit your state application and local application to the State, the State will forward the local application to the Clerk.

All fees for the local and state application must be submitted with your state application.

A Pre-Consultation must be scheduled to submit your local application. It is preferable that the local application is not submitted until the Pre-Consultation meeting is complete. The Pre-Consultation meeting is an opportunity to discuss any questions or obtain clarification regarding the local application process to help applicants submit a legally complete application for processing.

Each Pre-Consultation will be limited to thirty (30) minutes and one (1) application.  Multiple applications will require multiple Consultation appointments.

A conceptual review may be scheduled prior to the pre-consultation meeting. Proceeding beyond conceptual review to the adaptable use process cannot be applied until a pre-consultation meeting has been completed.

“Locking down the location.” – for applicants who have an application that is in process where the location may have an overlap with another establishment within the one-mile distance requirement.  Applicants who have complied with all the following:

  1. Submitted a legally complete local and state application,
  2. Received an approved Adaptable Use Permit,
  3. Completed all necessary inspections, and
  4. Received approval from the Licensing Authority

There will be the only marijuana establishment allowed within a particular one-mile radius. Only one application per legacy applicant will be reviewed at a time. After 120 days from March 1st, multiple applications or non-legacy applications may be submitted. 

“Legacy Applicants” – For the first 120 days of the licensing period, the City Clerk will only accept local applications for Legacy Applicants. Legacy Application status is determined by the applicant’s ability to provide evidence of at least 10% ownership over a prior legal retail or medical marijuana establishment in Loveland.  The burden of proof is on the applicant to provide documentation to support “Legacy” consideration.  Examples of proof that can be submitted include, but are not limited to, lease agreements, Secretary of State filings, bank records, and operating agreements. The City Clerk’s office has a list of prior establishments that will assist with verification, but this list does not imply or establish “Legacy” status.
