California Cannabis Tax Returns are DUE in 1 Week! Plus: Updates in Moreno Valley, Gonzales, West Hollywood and Oxnard

Check out this week’s breaking news from Moreno Valley, Gonzales, West Hollywood and Oxnard. Don’t forget: California cannabis tax returns are due in one week!

• Moreno Valley’s City Council adopted an ordinance that added cannabis micro-businesses as an allowed category. This likely means they will issue more licenses, but nothing is official yet.
  • The city is still accepting commercial cannabis applications until May 11, so get that application in if you’d like to receive an indoor cultivation, manufacturer, testing lab, dispensary/retailer, storefront distribution or micro-business permit. More on that later this week. 
• Gonzales recently adopted an ordinance that increased the maximum number of marijuana cultivation and manufacturing permits from three to eight.  As more details emerge about when they will be awarded, we will be sure to inform you.
• West Hollywood continues to inch closer to finalizing all of their application information and grading scales. It looks as though applications will open May 2.  Finalized application materials should be ready and online by April 25. However, West Hollywood is still finalizing details so nothing is confirmed.  The city website does state that most of the information and required documents will likely stay the same or very similar, so feel free to check out their website to get a head start.  We will provide a full-fledged write up once the information is 100% cleared with the city.
• Oxnard recently adopted an ordinance stating that it will allow deliveries of medical cannabis from licensed businesses outside of its city. As an exact date becomes available for this new ordinance, we will provide an update.

Every week, we will continue to update you on the California cities that are opening their application processes so you can get a head start.  Have a question on an existing city or application? Contact us to get started.
