The budget narrative notes that County cannabis tax revenues peaked at $20.1 million in FY 2020-21, collapsed to $3.5 million by FY 2022-23, rebounded to $5.0 million in FY 2023-24, and are estimated at $3.9 million in FY 2024-25, with projections in the $3.5–$4 million range going forward. It explains that the Board has already reduced cannabis production tax rates to ease financial burden on cultivators and suggests further reductions may be considered as cost pressures continue, which would reduce revenue and affect program funding. No specific tax policy changes or consultants are named, but the County frames cannabis as a significant agricultural subsector and economic development concern in unincorporated areas. This indicates an ongoing policy and financial strategy conversation about stabilizing cannabis revenue while keeping operators viable. Advisors in tax policy, regulatory optimization, compliance systems, and cannabis economic impact analysis could help the CAO, Cannabis Division (which is being reorganized under Housing and Community Development), and Board model alternative tax structures, monitor operator health, and design inspection and compliance programs that are cost-effective.

Complementing the intermunicipal agreement, Cortland County is enacting Local Law “G” of 2026 to formally become the tax collection agency for real property in the City of Cortland and to authorize partial payments under Real Property Tax Law Section 972. The law establishes a three‑installment plan (50% by January 31 interest‑free, 25% by March 15, and 25% by April 30 with interest on the unpaid balance) and empowers the Director of Finance to set forms, rules, and interest/penalty structures within state law. This policy change will significantly alter billing, payment, and delinquency workflows and likely requires configuration or enhancement of tax collection software, online payment portals, and communications. Vendors providing tax systems, e‑payments, print/mailing, and taxpayer self‑service portals can engage with the Finance Office as they design and implement these new partial payment processes and documentation requirements.
The Director of Finance is explicitly empowered to promulgate rules and forms for partial payments, ...
