$59M in marijuana tax distributions going to Michigan communities: How much is going where

DETROIT – Cities, townships and counties across Michigan are sharing $59.5 million in adult-use marijuana tax distributions from the 2022 fiscal year, the state treasury department announced Monday.

Eligible Michigan municipalities and counties will soon receive “more than $51,800 for every licensed retail store and microbusiness located within its jurisdiction,” the Michigan Department of Treasury said in a press release. More than $1.8 billion from adult-use marijuana sales were collected from 574 licensees throughout the state in 2022.

Officials said on Feb. 28 that 81 cities, 26 villages, 53 townships and 64 counties will start seeing payments from the state’s Marijuana Regulation Fund appear in their bank accounts in the coming days.

“Through a partnership, the dollars received from the adult-use marijuana taxes and fees are distributed to our participating communities,” said Rachael Eubanks, state treasurer.
