Lead paint in Marana follows federal EPA RRP rules under 40 CFR 745. Pre-1978 housing renovations disturbing painted surfaces require EPA-certified renovators.
The Town of Marana follows federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for lead-based paint under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule (40 CFR Part 745). Any renovation of pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities that disturbs more than six square feet of interior painted surfaces or 20 square feet of exterior painted surfaces must be performed by an EPA-certified renovator working for a certified firm. Arizona does not operate its own authorized state lead program, so EPA Region 9 has direct enforcement authority. Contractors performing covered renovations must use lead-safe work practices including containment, specialized cleaning, and post-work verification. Property owners selling or leasing pre-1978 housing must provide the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home and disclose known lead-based paint hazards per 42 USC 4852d. While much of Marana's housing stock was built after 1978 due to the town's rapid growth since the 1990s, older properties along the historic railroad corridor and original townsite may contain lead paint. The Pima County Health Department can provide blood lead level testing referrals for residents concerned about exposure.
EPA RRP violations carry federal civil penalties up to $46,875 per day per violation. Failure to provide lead disclosure at sale or lease carries penalties up to $19,507 per violation under 42 USC 4852d.
