Welcome to the City of Cotati's cannabis business information page. This site is intended to assist persons interested in opening a cannabis-related business in Cotati. Information about Cotati's rules regarding personal cannabis use and cultivation can be found on the Legalized Cannabis In Cotati page.
The City of Cotati is accepting Commercial Cannabis Permit Application (PDF) for commercial cannabis businesses. Commercial cannabis permit applications are reviewed and permits are issued in the order that they are received. The number of commercial cannabis permits is limited and the City will only accept applications for available permits. Please contact the Community Development Department at 707-665-3636 with questions and the availability of commercial cannabis permits. There is no waiting list.
Current holders of commercial cannabis permits should use the Renewal Application (PDF) to renew your licenses.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted or processed. Appointments to discuss application material and/or review draft application packages are strongly encouraged.
Rapid changes in state and local laws regulating cannabis have resulted in confusion about its status. The Cotati City Council and Planning Commission worked diligently to develop regulations that are fair, consistent with State law, and suited to our community.
