Aurora requires tobacco retailers to obtain a city license and follow Colorado's age-21 sales rule under CRS 44-7-103.5, with annual fees and routine compliance checks by Aurora Tax and Licensing.
Aurora City Code Chapter 26 governs business licensing for retailers selling cigarettes, vape products, and other tobacco goods. Colorado raised the minimum sales age to 21 statewide in 2020 (CRS 44-7-103.5), and Aurora enforces this through its retail license program. Retailers must post age-restriction signage, train staff on ID checks, and submit to inspections. License denial or suspension can follow repeated underage sales. Annual renewal applies, and licenses are non-transferable. Fees fund enforcement. Violations carry escalating penalties under municipal code.
Selling tobacco to anyone under 21, operating without a city tobacco retail license, or failing inspection can trigger fines, license suspension, or revocation by Aurora Tax and Licensing.
