The majority of voters in the Sonoma County city of Healdsburg have approved a measure to add a cannabis business tax.
Measure M allows a tax of up to 8 percent of gross receipts of any cannabis business that might be permitted in Healdsburg. In unofficial results updated Tuesday afternoon, 72.98 percent of voters supported the measure, according to the county registrar of voters.
Healdsburg currently does not have any existing cannabis businesses, but city officials are reviewing options for an ordinance permitting legal businesses there.
A report on options was submitted by City Manager Jeff Kay to the City Council last November. The report details the types of businesses that could be approved as well.
Legal cannabis businesses in Sonoma County currently exist in Cloverdale, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Windsor, Petaluma, Sebastopol and the city of Sonoma.
