Local Government Cannabis Aid

Local Government Cannabis Aid was created by the 2023 Minnesota Legislature. The aid is funded through a 10% gross receipts tax on retail sales of cannabis products in Minnesota. (Learn more about the Cannabis Tax.)

From the Cannabis Tax revenue, 80% is deposited into the state’s General Fund and 20% is deposited into the Local Government Cannabis Aid account. On June 30 each year, 50% of the cannabis aid account balance is available to counties and 50% to cities. For distribution details, review the summary and certified aid amounts posted on this page.

Local Government Cannabis Aid is certified by September 1 and paid on December 26 of the same year.
