Sonoma County Supervisors have made a couple of moves regarding Cannabis cultivation. First, civil penalties have been included for unpermitted cannabis operations in County jurisdictions, including a penalty of $1,000 per violation, separate violations for each plant above the personal cultivation limit, and escalated penalties for violations on multiple properties. Supervisors also approved a correction period of three calendar days to provide licensed and license-exempt cultivators, such as patients and caregivers, an opportunity to remedy zoning violations before civil penalties are imposed. A required second reading of these amendments will be made on June 4th and are scheduled to go into effect on July 4th.
