Measure K: City of Willows Cannabis Business Tax
City of Willows · Glenn County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the City of Willows adopt a business tax on cannabis business activities of up to 10% of gross receipts, to fund unrestricted general revenue purposes such as police, fire, roads, and recreation; which is expected to generate approximately $260,000 annually and will be levied until repealed by the voters or City Council?
In plain language
Measure K asks if Willows should add a business tax on cannabis businesses. The tax would be paid by the businesses, not directly by people who buy cannabis. It would start on January 1, 2027. The City Council would set the rate, but it could not be more than 10% of a business's gross receipts. Businesses would owe the tax even if they operate without a permit. The money would go into the city's general fund. It could be used for any city purpose, such as police, fire, roads, and recreation. The tax has no set end date. The ballot question says it would last until repealed by the voters or the City Council, but the measure's text says the City Council may not repeal it. A YES vote approves the tax. A NO vote means the city does not adopt this tax.
Fiscal impact
The tax rate could be up to 10% of a cannabis business's gross receipts. It is expected to raise about $260,000 a year. It has no set end date.
