The City of Redmond will start accepting applications for its final retail marijuana dispensary on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026. Interested applicants must submit initial applications by noon, Wednesday, July 1st, 2026, to secure one of the three available licenses based on the city’s population.
Application Process
Redmond’s ordinances establish a cap of one retail marijuana dispensary per 10,000 city residents. With the city’s current population of approximately 37,000, the allowable limit is three dispensaries. The application process for the dispensary is three parts, starting with a Land Use Verification application.
Redmond Mayor Ed Fitch emphasized the city’s commitment to responsible operation. “Following voter approval of dispensaries, the City successfully partnered in the initial round with operators who demonstrated responsible and safe business practices, as well as a clear commitment to serving the community,” Fitch said. “It is the Council’s intent to uphold that same standard of success moving forward.”
For additional details regarding the application process, interested parties can visit the City’s website at www.redmondoregon.gov/retailmarijuana. Deputy City Manager Steve Ashworth can also be reached at 541-923-7750 or via email at [email protected].
