After the construction is completed, there are two requirements that must be achieved prior to the grand opening of your brand new dispensary. First, the local building department must complete all inspections and provide you and/or your builder with a certificate of occupancy, which states that all work was performed correctly and complies with all applicable building codes. Second, the state regulatory agency must also complete their inspections and provide a certificate of approval to operate the dispensary. This inspection is focused on items which must be properly completed per state cannabis regulations, proper surveillance, adequate vault construction, security measures, etc.
