On September 13th, the Board of Supervisors approved changes to the County’s cannabis program, including approving a new required fee for licensed cannabis businesses operating in the unincorporated areas of the County. The new fee will take effect on October 14, 2022.

Owners of taxable unsecured business or personal property must pay their tax bills by August 31st this year to avoid a 10% penalty.

Starting July 1, 2022, all cannabis business operators in the unincorporated areas of the County must collect tax at an 8% rate.

To provide taxpayers with information regarding an available payment option, the County of San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector’s Office wishes to introduce Easy Smart Pay.

After December 10th, state law requires that payments must also include a 10% penalty.
