Yolo County Cannabis Program Overview
In March 2016, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance Number 1467, adding Chapter 20 to Title 5 of the Yolo County Code regulating cannabis cultivation in the County. The ordinance allows commercial cultivation of cannabis up to 1 acre of garden canopy.
In October 2016, the Board amended the ordinance to limit those who could obtain a cannabis license to those who had submitted a complete Notice of Intent with full payment to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Board (CVRWQB) by 5:00 p.m. on October 11,2016. The ordinance was further amended in November 2017 to establish a deadline of December 31, 2017 for the submittal of an initial cultivation license application for these individuals. These amendments limited the number of eligible licensees in Yolo County to approximately 78.
The licensing moratorium remains in effect today. No new cannabis license applications are being accepted at this time.
