State of Alaska Marijuana License Protest Deadline - AR 2026-236

The Anchorage Municipal Assembly has issued a conditional protest regarding the renewal of State of Alaska marijuana license #32367 for AK Legend, LLC, doing business as AK Legend Gardens. The protest is necessary because the establishment currently owes $12,760.98 in taxes, fees, or fines to the Municipality of Anchorage. Additionally, the Municipal Clerk has not yet received required certifications from the Finance Department and Land Use Enforcement. The resolution mandates that the applicant must pay all past-due taxes and complete a site inspection with Land Use Enforcement to satisfy municipal requirements. The Assembly has delegated authority to the Municipal Clerk to lift the protest and issue the municipal license renewal once these conditions are met. This action ensures the Assembly meets its statutory protest deadline of September 12, 2026. While the establishment has received approval for its special land use permit and certifications from the Planning, Fire, and Police departments, the lack of financial and land-use compliance prevents immediate renewal. The Municipal Clerk is authorized to notify the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) of this conditional protest to halt state-level processing until the specified municipal conditions are satisfied.
