Local sales tax
Yes: general local sales taxes (city, county, transit, metro-area) apply to dispensary purchases on top of the 6.875% state rate and the 15% cannabis tax, based on where the customer receives the product (the store address for in-store pickup).
To determine the local sales tax rate, use the location where the product is received by the customer, which is typically your business address or the customer's delivery address.
