Local Government Cannabis Aid

The Local Government Cannabis Aid program was repealed by the 2025 Legislature. 
The final year of aid payments is 2025.

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.
