Marijuana Tax Payouts Dip in Michigan Amid Sales Slump
Michigan’s $93.7 million marijuana tax revenue is allocated to 313 local governments, marking a decrease due to slowing sales and increased market competition, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Treasury announced a $93.7 million distribution from the Marijuana Regulation Fund to 313 local governments, reflecting 2025 fiscal-year revenue.
- The statute directs specific shares to local hosts and counties, requiring 15% of revenue from the 10% excise tax go to municipalities and tribes and another 15% to counties and tribes; this is separate from the 24% wholesale tax effective Jan. 1.
- Local tallies show Wayne County and Detroit will receive the largest combined sums, totaling more than $88 million, while each licensed retail store and microbusiness generates about $54,000 and Ann Arbor gets about $1.2 million, roughly $200,000 less than last year.
- Both the School Aid Fund and the Michigan Transportation Fund will receive over $109 million each, Ron Leix confirmed, while local governments can use excise-tax distributions for public safety and infrastructure.
- After years of growth, Michigan's cannabis market has recently cooled with slowing sales and falling prices, while the 24% wholesale marijuana tax faces a lawsuit and repeal effort after last week's bipartisan legislation.
