Arizona Proposition 207 lets adults 21 and older grow up to six marijuana plants per person and twelve per household at a private residence. Mesa requires plants stay out of public view and locked from minors.
Proposition 207 (2020), codified at ARS Title 36 Chapter 28.2, permits adults 21 or older in Mesa to cultivate up to six cannabis plants per adult, capped at twelve plants total per residence with two or more adults. Plants must grow in an enclosed, locked area such as a closet, garage, or fenced backyard not visible from public rights of way or neighboring property without optical aid. Mesa zoning treats home cultivation as a residential accessory use, but renters are subject to landlord lease restrictions, which Arizona law expressly allows. Outdoor odor must not create a nuisance under Title 10 and amplified grow equipment must follow city noise rules.
Exceeding plant counts, growing in public view, or letting minors access plants can trigger Arizona criminal exposure under ARS Title 36 plus Mesa nuisance citations for odor or noise.
