PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
On August 2, 2016, Chapter 6.32, Cannabis Business Tax, Ordinance No. 4361, was adopted by the Board. The Board of Supervisors provided direction to staff on February 27, 2018, and March 27, 2018, regarding potential revisions to Chapter 6.32. On June 11, 2019, this Ordinance was introduced and first reading was waived.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
After sending out the Cannabis Business Tax Minimum Due Invoices for the 2018 calendar year, staff of the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office received numerous questions regarding the minimum tax due requirement, including regarding an appeals process.
On June 11, 2019, Staff presented certain amendments to Section 6.32.150 for Board of Supervisors consideration that would (1) allow for the delegation of the authority to hear appeals to a different body, (2) allow for the establishment of a fee for appeal applications and proceedings and (3) allow for the designation of a person other than the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to organize and notice the appeal hearings.
