Home cultivation of cannabis in Puyallup is governed by Washington state cannabis regulations. In states where adult-use cannabis is legal, residents 21 and older may typically grow 4–6 plants per household in a private, enclosed area. Plants must not be visible from public spaces without visual aids. Growing areas must be secured against access by minors. Puyallup may impose additional local restrictions including indoor-only cultivation requirements, prohibition of outdoor growing, or total local bans on home cultivation where state law permits. Cultivation for sale without a commercial license is prohibited. Odor from cannabis plants that creates a public nuisance may violate Puyallup's nuisance ordinance. Rental properties and HOAs may have their own prohibitions regardless of local law.
Exceeding plant limits: $250–$1,000 fine and plant seizure. Visible cultivation from public: $100–$500 fine. Cultivation in prohibited areas (local ban): $500–$2,500 fine. Sale without license: criminal charges.
