Campbell County, KY Cannabis Regulations: Dispensary Zoning (2026)

05 to the county's general offenses chapter and imposes a blanket ban: all cannabis businesses are hereby prohibited from operating within Campbell County limits. 010 as if set out herein and as relevant to this section. That state statute defines terms such as cannabis business, cannabis cultivator, cannabis processor, cannabis dispensary, and cannabis safety compliance facility, so the county's prohibition sweeps in every category of licensed medical cannabis operation the Commonwealth's medical cannabis program authorizes, not merely retail dispensaries. Because Kentucky's medical cannabis law lets local governments opt out of hosting any cannabis business type within their boundaries, Campbell County's fiscal court exercised that opt-out for the entire county rather than adopting zoning districts where a dispensary, cultivator, or processor could locate.

05 forecloses siting anywhere within county limits, leaving no zoning overlay, conditional-use permit, or distance-based buffer to evaluate because the use itself is barred outright rather than merely restricted to certain districts.
