Home cannabis growing is legal in Scott County under Minnesota law. Adults 21 and older may grow up to eight plants per residence, with no more than four mature and flowering, in an enclosed, locked space.
Minnesota legalized adult-use cannabis in 2023, and home cultivation is allowed statewide. Under MN Stat. §342.09, an individual 21 or older may grow up to eight cannabis plants at their primary residence without a license, with no more than four being mature, flowering plants at one time. Growing must take place in an enclosed, locked space that is not open to public view, including the yard or curtilage. Adults may also possess up to two ounces in public and two pounds at home. Local governments and landlords can restrict growing in rental units, but Scott County cannot ban personal home cultivation.
Growing more than eight plants or more than four mature, flowering plants without a cultivation license can bring a civil penalty of up to $500 for each plant over the limit. Growing for unlicensed sale is charged criminally.
