On November 8, 2016, Florence voters passed Ballot Measure 20-251, establishing a 3% tax on recreational marijuana sales in the City of Florence by enacting Florence City Code Title 3, Chapter 11. Revenue from recreational marijuana taxes is proposed to be distributed into the City of Florence general fund. 

This tax will go into effect on January 1, 2017, when recreational marijuana retailers will be required to collect a 3% retail sales tax from customers at the point of sale. This will be in addition to the State's 17% tax on recreational marijuana sales.
