Vape and tobacco retailers across Maricopa County must hold an Arizona Department of Health Services tobacco retailer license created by SB-1009, plus an Arizona Department of Revenue luxury-tax license. Maricopa County Environmental Services adds a health permit when food or e-liquid is mixed onsite.
Senate Bill 1009 in 2020 amended ARS section 36-798.06 to require a state retailer license for any business selling tobacco or vapor products in Arizona, administered by the Arizona Department of Health Services. Maricopa County retailers must register with ADHS, pay the annual fee, post the license, and follow youth-access rules including ID checks, no self-service displays of vapor products, and posted age signage. ADOR luxury-tax licensing under Title 42 chapter 3 layers on top. MCESD issues a county food or vape-juice permit when mixing or sampling occurs. Cities like Phoenix, Mesa, and Tempe add their own retailer rules; the unincorporated county follows state-only requirements.
Selling vapes without an ADHS license or to a person under twenty-one is a class three misdemeanor under ARS section 36-798.03, with civil fines and possible suspension of the state retailer license on repeat violations.
