3 Percent Sales Tax For Recreational Marijuana Retailers To Appear On April Ballot In Albany

Albany’s Board of Aldermen approved an ordinance which places a question on the April 4th ballot which would allow the City of Albany to place a 3 percent sales tax on the retail sale of recreational marijuana. The action came at a meeting Tuesday night. The ballot question will not ask for an approval of the retail sale of recreational marijuana. The State of Missouri has already approved the retail sale of recreational marijuana within all Missouri municipalities. The question before Albany voters will be whether the city can collect a 3 percent sales tax from retailers who choose to sell recreational marijuana.

The question will go before Albany voters on April 4th.
