On November 29, 2022 the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution (Resolution 22-143) extending the temporary reduction of Measure S taxes and suspending 100% of the Measure S taxes for tax year 2023 and tax year 2024.
The resolution states:
- For cultivation year 2022, collected in tax year 2023, the cannabis excise tax rate shall be temporarily suspended in full, resulting in a 100% reduction of the currently authorized rates and no Measure S cannabis excise taxes will be billed or due for this tax year.
- For cultivation year 2023, collected in tax year 2024, the cannabis excise tax rate shall be temporarily suspended in full, resulting in a 100% reduction of the currently authorized rates and no Measure S cannabis excise taxes will be billed or due for this tax year.
- The second installments of the cultivation year 2020, originally due in tax year 2021, remain due but are not subject to penalties and interest during tax year 2023 and tax year 2024.
- The first and second installments of the cultivation year 2021 originally due in tax year 2022 and already reduced by 85% remain due but are not subject to penalties and interest during tax year 2023 and tax year 2024.
- All other billed and assessed Measure S taxes, penalties, and interest due for prior cultivation years remain due and are subject to all applicable penalties and interest charges.
This resolution also authorized and directed the Treasurer-Tax Collector to take actions consistent with the resolution. As such, the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office will accept payments in any amount toward the outstanding balance of Measure S cannabis excise taxes through December 31, 2024.
