Supervisors direct staff to tie cannabis cultivation licenses to tax compliance, refer delinquent accounts to committee
Summary
Mendocino County supervisors voted unanimously to direct staff to draft ordinance amendments tying cannabis cultivation business license standing to tax compliance, to allow administrative review for license termination for tax noncompliance, and to refer roughly $1.2 million in delinquent cannabis business taxes to the General Government Committee for further study.
Mendocino County supervisors voted unanimously to ask staff to draft changes to County Code section 10A.17 that would tie cannabis cultivation business license (CCBL) status to local tax compliance and to allow administrative review to terminate a CCBL for tax noncompliance.
The board’s action also referred the county’s delinquent cannabis business tax problem to the General Government Committee for a fuller approach to collection and program design. Sarah McBurney, senior program manager with the county cannabis division, told supervisors the county currently “holds about $1,200,000 in delinquent business taxes through current CCBL holders,” a figure she said excludes penalties and interest and covers roughly 200 licenses.
