The Smoke Shop Permit Checker

Pick your state, tell it what you plan to sell, and get the computed answer: your license stack with fees, every product restriction that applies to your mix, and the city verification steps for your address. The same checker sits on the homepage; this page is the quiet room version.

The Opening Compliance Pack — $49

Worked filing packs for the 10 most-searched states, product-legality tables for all 50 states + DC, the lease red-flag checklist, the city verification worksheet and zoning letter, the opening timeline, the stocking list, and the renewal calendar.

The free checker

What will you sell?
The lease

Free, no email. The checker never approves an exact address — it gives you the state answer and the city steps that decide the address.

What the verdict can and cannot do

The state layer is computable, and we compute it: licenses, fees, directories, flavor bans, origin bans, hemp status — each dated and sourced on your state page. The city layer is not computable from a desk: it turns on parcel measurements and, in some cities, a hearing. So the checker ends every verdict with the city worksheet — the six steps, in order — and city sheets for 50 metros where we have verified the local numbers.

Never sign on a screenshot. A verdict page is a planning document. The zoning verification letter — the template is in the kit — is the document that protects a lease.

Doing the paperwork next?

The checker tells you what applies. The Opening Compliance Pack is the doing: worked filing packs for the 10 most-searched states, the legality tables for all 51, the lease checklist, the worksheet and the letter.
