Details for cultivation class and licensed premises

DCC distinguishes outdoor, indoor and mixed-light cultivation and bases the class on the production and lighting method and plant count or canopy size. Canopy means the area of mature flowering plants, not automatically the whole parcel. Use the actual approved class and premises when identifying the license covered by the bond.

The guide separately identifies nursery cultivation for clones, immature plants, seeds and other propagation material. Its processor category concerns trimming, sifting, curing, drying, grading, packaging or labeling. Identify those activities accurately rather than assuming a processor license authorizes a growing operation or cannabis manufacturing.

The Form 8113 instructions call for at least $5,000 for each licensed premises and allow aggregation for multiple licenses of the same business. That minimum is not a per-plant or per-acre cultivation formula, and it does not automatically cover every property. Match the complete license and premises schedule, legal and trade names and the State's accepted undertaking.

The model's coverage runs from receipt of the license through its renewals, subject to cancellation, and its aggregate limit does not reset annually. It requires 30 days' written cancellation notice delivered to DCC and the principal, preserving earlier covered liability. DCC directs changes through Form 27 with the changed or new bond copy and Form 8113. Bond issuance does not grant cultivation or local land-use approval.
