Calculating Tobacco Retailer Licensing Fees

Tobacco retailer licensing (TRL) programs require all businesses that sell tobacco products to obtain a license from the local jurisdiction in exchange for the privilege of selling these products.

California communities that want a TRL program to help reduce smoking rates, often struggle to determine the fees associated with implementing a TRL system. This webinar provides background information on TRL fees and focuses on how to use our TRL Fee Calculator that can help communities that want to implement TRL.
