Tobacco Retail Licensing

All businesses in Yamhill County that sell cigarettes, tobacco products, or inhalant delivery systems at retail are required to be licensed by the state through the Oregon Department of Revenue.

• The name, mailing address, and federal tax identifier of the business entity for which you are applying. The identifier may be a federal employer identification number (FEIN) or, if you are a sole proprietor, it may be a social security number (SSN).
• Premises address and premises name for each retail location for which a license will be requested.
• A valid email address.
• If you have multiple premises under the same FEIN, you may apply for multiple state licenses on one application.

Applications are available through Revenue Online. From the Revenue Online homepage, under the "Quick Links" header, select "Register and apply". To start the application, select "Apply for Tobacco Retail License". 

Payment is due when you submit your application. You will need a checking account and routing number, or a credit/debit card to submit an electronic payment.  If you are unable to make an electronic payment, a check may be sent to the department.  Write your identifier, business name, and reference “Retail License” on the memo line of your check. Online payments are recommended as the license cannot be issued until both the application is received, and fee is paid in full.
