Unlike Texas, Arizona does not have statewide breed ban preemption. Individual cities may enact breed-specific legislation (BSL). Phoenix has no breed restrictions and follows a behavior-based approach. Some smaller Arizona cities may restrict certain breeds. ARS §11-1025 governs vicious/dangerous animals based on behavior. Owners of dangerous dogs must meet containment, insurance, and registration requirements. HOA breed restrictions may exist in CC&Rs. Check Pima County specific ordinance for any breed-specific rules.
Dangerous animal violations per ARS §11-1025: Class 1 misdemeanor to felony depending on severity. BSL violations vary by city.
