Cannabis Businesses - Final Plan of Record Submission

Welcome! This page contains all required submission forms for final plans of record for cannabis business license applicants. These are only to be completed after you receive notification from the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) that you’ve advanced to preliminarily approved status.

If you are a lower-potency hemp edible business license applicant, you can find guidance and required forms on the General Licensing Process webpage under "Resources for Applying for a Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Business License."

Once preliminarily approved, cannabis business license applicants must submit detailed final plans of record for their cannabis business. These forms document finalized site and operational details and must be submitted and approved before a pre-licensure inspection can be scheduled and a license issued. OCM has issued Guidance Memo GM-2025-01 for cannabis business license applicants with important information on how to successfully complete your final plans of record. It is important to review this document before submitting your final plans of record.
