Lindenhurst board adopts 3% cannabis retailers occupation tax
Summary
At its Nov. 8 meeting the Lindenhurst Village Board adopted Ordinance 21-11-2218 to levy a 3% municipal occupation tax on gross receipts from retail cannabis sales, the maximum permitted under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; the measure passed 6-0.
The Lindenhurst Village Board on Nov. 8 adopted Ordinance 21-11-2218 to levy an additional 3% municipal retailers occupation tax on gross receipts from the retail sale of cannabis in the village. The ordinance passed on a 6-0 roll call.
Trustee Pat Dunham moved adoption of the ordinance; Trustee Dawn Suchy seconded. Board materials state the 3% rate is the maximum allowed by the state Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. The Board had discussed two related policy issues at its Oct. 25 meeting: whether to allow retail cannabis sales in the village and whether to impose an occupation or sales tax on those transactions.
According to the ordinance summary presented at the meeting, the tax applies to gross receipts from taxable cannabis sales conducted within Lindenhurst. No effective date or implementation timeline was specified in the meeting record; the Board adopted the ordinance language and tally as part of the Nov. 8 proceedings.
The action was taken unanimously by the six trustees present. The ordinance was recorded as Ordinance 21-11-2218 and will be processed according to village ordinance-adoption procedures.
