Arizona law (Proposition 207 / ARS 36-2852) permits adults 21+ to grow up to 6 cannabis plants per person (12 per household). Plants must be in an enclosed, locked area not visible from public spaces. Peoria cannot ban home cultivation under state preemption but enforces nuisance provisions for odor. Landlords may prohibit cultivation in leases.
Home cannabis cultivation in Peoria follows Arizona's Smart and Safe Arizona Act (ARS 36-2850 et seq.). Adults 21+ may grow up to 6 plants, with a 12-plant household maximum. Plants must be in an enclosed, locked area preventing minor access and not visible from public places. Peoria cannot prohibit home cultivation under state preemption. The city enforces nuisance provisions if odor impacts neighbors. Tenants should check leases as landlords may prohibit cultivation. Peoria's master-planned communities with HOAs may have additional restrictions. Outdoor growing on open patios or yards visible to neighbors is not compliant. Home-grown cannabis may not be sold.
Growing more than permitted plants is a criminal offense. Visible cultivation or odor nuisances may result in code enforcement.
