Election: Broomfield voters appear supportive of marijuana sales tax
BROOMFIELD — Nearly 60% of Broomfield voters support a new recreational marijuana sales tax that could go into effect as early as February should the city opt to repeal its prohibition on pot sales, according to early results.
Broomfield voters will decide whether to allow a prohibition on retail marijuana stores to expire on Feb. 1, 2021, and whether to impose a 4% tax on retail marijuana sales. The tax measure would generate $2.2 million annually. The tax would be in addition to the city’s existing sales tax.
Voters also will decide whether to allow the city and county to annually adjust future mill levies for tax years 2022 and thereafter.
