OPRA Request for Cannabis Revenue
Dear Office of the Clerk,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access as per NJSA 47:1A-6(f).
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Following cannabis-related data for the years 2021 to 2024:
- local cannabis transfer tax,
- cannabis user tax,
- social responsibility revenue, and
- any additional sources of local revenue, such as cannabis application fees.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,

This OPRA request has been received on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. It will be
reviewed and processed. A response will be sent within seven (7) business
days after the City's custodian of records receives the request.
Please note that a proper OPRA request must identify with reasonable clarity the
records desired. OPRA submissions which request all of an agency's documents,
seek information (and not records), or ask questions are not proper
requests. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37
(App. Div. 2005). In addition, record custodians are not required to conduct
research or create new records in response to an OPRA request. You will be
notified if your OPRA request requires clarification or is non-conforming.
Please contact this office should you require further guidance.
Sincerely,
OPRA
