Lottery Applications for Tobacco Retail Dealer (TRD) and Electronic Cigarette Dealer Licenses (ECD)
The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) conducts a semi-annual review of Tobacco Retail Dealer licenses and Electronic Cigarette Dealer Licenses in each Community District to determine if the number of current licenses has fallen below the Community District cap. DCWP issues a public notice in the City Record stating which Community Districts have available licenses, how many licenses are available, and when it will begin accepting Lottery Application forms. At the close of the Lottery Application Period, DCWP will assign each accepted application a “Priority Number” using a computer-generated random number selection program. If the number of accepted Lottery Application Forms exceeds the number of available Tobacco Retail Dealer licenses for the Community District, DCWP will issue offers to apply for the license in the order of the assigned Priority Numbers.
