Distance requirements

Buffer and setback rules

UnverifiedNot verified — contact us to confirm current status

The state adult-use rule separately requires 1,000 feet from a pre-existing school, measured parcel line to parcel line, unless the municipality has adopted an ordinance reducing it. Local ordinances sometimes measure door to door instead — measure both ways before you commit. See how the buffer is measured.

Ordinance terms

Other local requirements

UnverifiedNot verified — contact us to confirm current status

Operating hours, permitted districts, co-location, insurance minimums, municipal fee caps and community-benefit conditions are local ordinance terms, not state licensing conditions. They are amended more often than setbacks and they move unit economics — confirm the current text before signing.
