Hello!

Please carefully read the following information before submitting an application.

City of Detroit business licenses expire September 30, 2025, for Medical and AU Retailer, Grower, Processor, Safety Compliance, Secure Transporter, Microbusiness, and Designated Consumption.

Sec. 20-6-42(a) of the Detroit City Code requires that a license renewal application be submitted electronically at least 120 days before expiration. Applications received after August 15, 2025 shall be considered in "late renewal" and at risk of not being reviewed or approved prior to license expiration.

After review, an update request may be sent to the licensee representative's email provided to submit additional or clarifying information. The update request is generated by Smartsheet, will have a link for uploading, and is the only way additional documents may be submitted. Renewal applications and updated materials are reviewed in the order they are received.

Failure to submit requested material within 30 days may result in the renewal application being dismissed.
