Executive Summary:
The Board of Supervisors and county staff have received requests from the legal Cannabis industry to revise the County’s Tax structure. Most recently, as a result of the industry-reported per pound price drop, and as a reaction to the state’s January 1, 2022 cultivation tax rate increase.
This report provides an overview of the cultivation tax structures in place for both the state and the county’s unincorporated area; identifies policies issued by neighboring municipalities and preliminary legislation discussion by Senator McGuire; and seeks specific staff direction on additional information needed, as well establishing next steps and execution timeline.
