Tuolumne County prohibits all commercial cannabis activities under Ordinance Code §17.67.065. No dispensaries, cultivation facilities, manufacturing, distribution, testing, or retail sales are permitted in unincorporated areas.
Tuolumne County Ordinance Code §17.67.065 explicitly prohibits all commercial cannabis activities requiring a state license within the unincorporated areas of the county. This includes retail dispensaries, delivery services, cultivation, processing, manufacturing, distribution, and testing facilities. The ban was adopted after community input reflecting concerns about the rural character of the county and public safety. State-licensed cannabis delivery from operations based outside the county may legally deliver into Tuolumne County under state law, which preempts local delivery bans (though this remains contested). The City of Sonora (the county seat) has its own cannabis regulations separate from the county.
Operating any commercial cannabis activity: county ordinance §17.67.065 violation, code compliance enforcement, potential criminal referral.
