Full Breakdown
Under California Health & Safety Code §11362.2, adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 living cannabis plants per residence. Fillmore cannot prohibit indoor cultivation. The 6-plant limit applies per residence, not per person. Plants must be in a locked space not visible from a public place. Outdoor cultivation may be restricted or prohibited by local ordinance. Processing of harvested cannabis at the cultivation site is allowed. Growing for commercial sale requires a state license and local permit, which Fillmore does not issue. Cultivation that creates nuisance odors may be subject to separate enforcement under nuisance ordinances.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding 6 plants is a criminal offense under state law. Visible plants or outdoor cultivation in violation of local rules can result in code enforcement action. Growing for commercial sale without a license is a state law violation carrying significant penalties.
