A small Medina County village near a major highway interchange has netted nearly $210,000 in cannabis tax revenues.
That community, Seville — with a population of about 2,300 people — got more taxes dollars from marijuana sales than larger communities in the area such as college city Kent, which has received more than $173,000.
The Ohio Department of Taxation has shared how much tax revenue from state-licensed adult-use marijuana sales it has distributed to communities with dispensaries.
The distribution breakdown on the department’s website lists disbursements for municipalities across the state, sourced from taxes on adult-use marijuana sales that took place between August 2024 and December 2025.
Ohio municipalities are receiving 36% of the 10% excise tax that is tacked onto dispensary sales within their borders.
Andrea Lannom, a spokeswoman for the department, said via email on Jan. 22 that the tax revenues from December sales will be issued to host communities at the end of January.
Lannom also provided the Beacon Journal with a list of communities affected by distribution issues that she previously mentioned to the news outlet on Jan. 16. All corrections “will be completed at the beginning of February,” she said.
None of the municipalities that require corrections are in the Beacon Journal’s primary coverage area of Summit, Medina and Portage counties.
