Cigarette licenses are obtained at the County Auditor’s office.  Here is a list of retail cigarette license issued in Coshocton County.

Any person who employs the use of a motor vehicle to convey a supply of cigarettes from place to place for the purpose of offering such cigarettes for sale must obtain a license for each vehicle in each county in which any vehicle is used.

In the event that a business is moved from one location to another, or the business is sold, or an individual or partnership incorporates his own business, or a partnership or corporation is dissolved, the cigarette license which has been issued to a dealer prior to the occurrence of any such event may not be used.

A cigarette dealer’s license may be transferred to a person other than that to whom it was issued, or for a place of business in the same county other than that for which it has been issued, by filing an application with the County Auditor and payment of a one dollar fee to the County Treasurer.

Cigarette licenses are to be displayed near the product being sold for easy inspection.
