LANE COUNTY Lane County commissioners endorse idea of local tax on pot sales Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jun. 22, 2016 at 4:53 PM By The Associated Press Posted Jun. 22, 2016 at 4:53 PM » Social News EUGENE — The Lane County Board of Commissioners has given the initial nod of approval to a 3percent county tax on recreational marijuana sales. The Register-Guard reports the tax would only apply only on marijuana sales outside city limits in the county that includes Eugene and Springfield. The tax would be on top of the permanent 17 percent state tax on all sales. Commissioner Pete Sorenson supported drafting an ordinance and hearing public comment, but expressed some concern that local taxes on marijuana would push prices too high and send consumers back to the black market. All 12 cities in Lane County are at least considering an identical tax on sales within their boundaries.
