Three Percent Local Options Cannabis Tax
The FY 26 budget also contains about $500,000 in revenue from the 3% local option tax on recreational cannabis sales in the county that voters approved in 2020. This revenue will go toward the general fund, which includes departments that provide core government services, such as the County Attorney’s Office, 9-1-1 Division, Elections Office, Justice Court and the Motor Vehicle Division.
