Showing ordinances that apply to Maish Vaya, AZ
Maish Vaya is an unincorporated community (population 129) in Pima County, Arizona. Because Maish Vaya is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pima County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The home cultivation rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Arizona Proposition 207 (Smart and Safe Arizona Act, 2020) allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants per person and 12 per household. Plants must be in an enclosed, locked space not visible from public areas. Pima County does not impose additional restrictions beyond state law for unincorporated areas.
Under ARS 36-2852 (enacted by Proposition 207 in November 2020), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 marijuana plants per person, with a maximum of 12 plants per household regardless of the number of adults. All cultivation must occur in an enclosed area equipped with a lock or security device that prevents access by minors. Plants may not be visible from a public place without the use of binoculars, aircraft, or other optical aids. Pima County has not adopted additional local restrictions on home cultivation in unincorporated areas beyond the state framework. However, outdoor grows visible to neighbors or from public roads may trigger nuisance complaints handled by the Pima County Sheriff. Odor complaints are generally not actionable under state preemption. Cultivators may not sell homegrown cannabis -- personal use only. Medical marijuana patients under AMMA (Arizona Medical Marijuana Act) may also cultivate if they live more than 25 miles from a licensed dispensary.
Exceeding 6 plants per person or 12 per household is a petty offense for the first violation (civil penalty up to $300) under ARS 36-2853. Growing in an area accessible to minors or visible from public spaces may result in criminal charges. Sale of homegrown cannabis remains a felony under Arizona law.
