County of San Diego Tobacco Retail Licensing Program (TRLP)

About

Tobacco retailers in the unincorporated area must obtain a Tobacco Retail License (TRL) on an annual basis and comply with operating and tobacco product requirements.

 

The TRL fee for the fiscal year 2023-24 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024) is $730, the same as the previous fiscal year 2022-23. 

 

Retailers who were licensed by the County on or before June 30, 2023, should submit a complete application packet to renew their TRL no later than September 5, 2023. The County will NOT impose penalties for selling tobacco products without a license on a currently licensed retailer who has submitted a complete application packet by September 5, 2023.

Retailers who choose the manual option MUST print the forms, complete them, sign/initial them, and then scan them so they can be emailed to the TRL program.
