Tobacco permits, alerts, and PACT done right

Most c-stores have two or three tobacco permits — state, county, sometimes city. Each expires on its own rolling schedule and a missed renewal can shut you down until the new one clears.

CStoreComply tracks every permit, alerts you at 60/30/14 days, and warns about the “unlicensed supplier” trap — buy from an unlicensed wholesaler and you become a secondary distributor with monthly tax filings in 8+ states.

What's included

• State + locality permit tracking. Per-permit expiry dates, PDF storage, renewal calendar.
• FDA display attestation. Periodic self-attestation per FDA 21 CFR 1140, with a quarterly reminder.
• Age-verification log. Daily summary count, retained 5+ years per state law.
• Unlicensed-supplier warning. 12-state audit (TX/CA/NY/IL/FL/PA/OH/NJ/CO/GA/MI/AZ) surfaces the “secondary distributor” rule on home screen.
• PACT Act for delivery operators. Monthly federal + per-state reports for c-stores that ship tobacco (most don't — but if you partner with GoPuff or similar, you do).

12-state coverage audit

We've audited the tobacco compliance spec against the 12 highest-c-store-density states. For brick-and-mortar c-stores, the “slim spec” (permits + attestation + age verification) holds across all 12. Add delivery and the full PACT registration flow kicks in.
