Details for the permit area and OMMA filing

OMMA states a minimum of $50,000 for each license and may require more depending on reclamation requirements. Its ownership alternative requires an attestation and documents showing that the licensee owned the permit area for at least five years before applying. Five years in business or a landlord's long ownership does not by itself establish that alternative.

The official form requires compliance with the named medical marijuana laws and rules and payment of money due to OMMA, but limits recoverable damages to restoring the property. Examples include equipment removal, waste destruction, environmental remediation, restricting public access, addressing improperly coded buildings and determining the disposition of seized property. Do not treat that wording as unlimited tax, customer or landlord protection.

The form requires written claims to the surety and principal and gives the surety at least 30 days to investigate and respond. It permits cancellation on 30 days' written notice to OMMA and the principal, preserves the distinction between earlier conduct and conduct after cancellation, and bars claims more than one year after cancellation. Aggregate surety liability does not reset for each year the bond remains active. Follow OMMA's advance-renewal directions and provide accepted replacement security or qualifying ownership evidence before the old bond expires.

OMMA's current grower page reports that the new-license moratorium extends to August 1, 2028 unless its Executive Director determines that the specified pending reviews, inspections or investigations are complete. Existing licensees can apply for renewal. Purchasing security does not remove the moratorium, issue or renew a grower license, or authorize retail sales to patients.
