Cannabis Taxes in Naperville
The council set Naperville's cannabis tax at the 3% state maximum in April 2020, months before it allowed any stores. Naperville straddles DuPage and Will counties, and both add a 3% cannabis tax inside cities, so local cannabis tax totals 6% at every Naperville store. State excise is separate: 10% on flower up to 35% THC, 20% on infused products and 25% on stronger products. Illinois Department of Revenue rate files put the combined sales and local cannabis rate at all three stores at 14% as of August 2026, before excise. Patients pay no excise or local cannabis tax on their medical supply.
