Proposition 207 lets Arizona adults twenty-one and older grow up to six marijuana plants in a private residence, capped at twelve per household. Maricopa County recognizes this state right but requires plants out of public view and away from minors.
ARS section 36-2852 authorizes any adult twenty-one or older to cultivate up to six marijuana plants for personal use at their primary residence, with a maximum of twelve plants per household regardless of how many adults reside there. Plants must grow in a closet, room, greenhouse, or other enclosed area equipped with a lock and not visible from public view. The harvest must remain at the residence; transport for sale is barred. Maricopa County has not added a separate cultivation ordinance. The Sheriff still enforces visibility, lock, and minor-access requirements. Renters need landlord permission, and HOA covenants may further restrict cultivation in unincorporated subdivisions.
Growing more than six plants per adult, twelve per household, or visible from the street is a civil penalty up to three hundred dollars under ARS 36-2853(A), escalating to a class six felony if quantities exceed personal limits.
