Full Breakdown
California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.2 allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to 6 living cannabis plants per private residence for personal use. The limit is per household, not per person. Plants must be grown in a location not visible from public view without the use of binoculars or aircraft. Indoor cultivation is preferred. Outdoor cultivation must be in a locked, enclosed area on the grounds of the residence. Cultivation must comply with all local building, electrical, and fire codes. Extraction using volatile solvents (butane, propane) is prohibited. CMC Chapter 9.50 (if applicable) may impose additional local conditions on home cultivation, such as requiring indoor-only cultivation or restricting odor impacts. In Camarillo's HOA communities, CC&Rs may prohibit or restrict cannabis cultivation, and such restrictions are generally enforceable as private contractual agreements. Cultivation that produces odor complaints may also trigger noise and nuisance provisions.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding 6 plants or cultivating in a visible location violates HSC 11362.2. Local code violations are enforced by Community Development. HOA violations enforced through the association. Contact Camarillo Police at (805) 388-5100 for cannabis law questions.
