Huge from the Respective CA County Tax Assessor...

This is an earlier post explaining how such should be interpreted by the Tax Assessor for the county which is designated as the governing authority on such matters:

Huge from the Mendocino City County Tax Assessor Office…

First let’s define a parcel. According to the Mendocino County, California - Code of Ordinances under Sec. 9.31.030 …

https://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=16484


"Parcel" means a parcel as determined by the Assessor for assessment purposes only…



To add, a parcel of land is referred to a piece of land that represents a legal boundary or section. In this case, a legal boundary represents marijuana to be grown for a "qualified patient", "primary caregiver", "collective", etc. I’ll explain later within this post where I got such interpretation from and much more to include the official definition within the Mendocino County Code of Ordinances.

I must say thought that after talking to a variety of people in California from these key governing authorities for marijuana in California, from what I can gather, it’s kind of like the Wild Wild West and the great gold rush days in California. There are quite a few laws in place, but many of the laws contradict one another and lacks the clarity on many issues. After speaking to a few people at the Mendocino City Council, they passed me on to the Mendocino County Sherriff’s Office. After speaking to a few people there, they told me to go with what I am told by the Mendocino City County Tax Assessor Office because they are the ones who control how interpretation is delivered because they ultimately determines and controls how everything is to be taxed. This made a lot of sense to me because as it is “officially” written within the Mendocino City County Code Ordinance, it states that a parcel is determined by the Assessor for assessment purposes. So I called the Mendocino City County Tax Assessor Office. The lady told me that she would pass me to the person who can answer my questions. She said that if he doesn’t pick up the phone, leave a message and the Assessor with the answers for me would call me back. I left a message and I was called back by an Assessor whose name is Kirk Larson. Here's their website:
http://www.co.mendocino.ca.us/acr/assessor.htm

Kirk told me that a parcel is defined as a boundary of land that has a Tax ID Number affixed to it. So in other words, an area of land that taxes are paid on. He told me that they determine that. He said that a parcel could be 1 acre of land or 160 acres of land like what exists in a spot up north or even more.

Our discussion continued about the amount per plant per parcel and he said that the 25 plant per parcel is not referring to such a small amount as it might be originally interpreted by some. He said to go to Google Earth if I wanted to do so and see that there are far more than 25 plants per area. He said that I would see acres and acres of marijuana plants per parcel that would be far greater than 25 plants per parcel. He said that it’s kind of confusing right now for some just reading and seeing the 25 plants per parcel definition, but that clarity will be out in Nov 2014 with the new laws that will cover and better explain everything. He said that they are the governing authority for how it is to be interpreted because they are the ones who are responsible for making sure each parcel is taxed. I would see the 25 plants to mean 25 bulks at no specific size per bulk. Then that bulk will be taxed per parcel of which now consider the definition of a parcel again.

We talked a little further and I asked him about the amount of pounds per plant. Kirk said that he has seen plants as tall as 8 feet tall so getting 3 to 4 pounds of marijuana from one plant is very doable. What I posted above applies to Mendocino County, CA. I hope this helps.

About the need of a CA MJ License...

I did do some DD on how California (CA) medical marijuana is regulated. There is no such thing as a "cultivation license" under California law. You can read from the sites below to see how some unethical California Doctors were trying to charge clients extra for so-called "cultivation licenses" for certain entitlements that were proven to not be valid. Again… There is no such thing as a "cultivation license" under California law.:

http://www.canorml.org/prop/MDGuide.html

Again, by California Law, they don't need a license to grow marijuana in California. Read below what I posted a few days ago about the issue:


http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=102935185
About having a License, I spoke Harborside Health Center at 888-994-2726. They are a non-profit organization as the guy told me that it is mandatory within the state of California for them as a marijuana company. From what I have researched, they generate over $20 Million per year. He also told me that there is absolutely no Company License that exists for marijuana for the state of California. The guy told me that each person that is within a Cooperative or Collective must have a license, but there is no license requirement for a company. So, again, referring to whether or not QEDN (Emerald Med Farms) need a license to grow marijuana in California… the answer is no they do not need a marijuana license.
