Pinal County sets no numeric lawn-height limit for unincorporated desert lots. Instead, overgrown "weeds" that become a public nuisance must be cleared within 30 days of a county Notice to Abate. Cities like Casa Grande and Maricopa set their own turf rules.
In much of unincorporated Pinal County (Phoenix-to-Tucson desert exurb), yards are xeriscaped, not turf, so there is no fixed inches-tall grass standard. Enforcement runs through the county nuisance code, which defines "Weeds" broadly and lets Development Services order abatement of overgrown or rank vegetation that is a public nuisance. If you live inside an incorporated city (Casa Grande, Maricopa, Apache Junction, Florence, Coolidge, Eloy) that city's own property-maintenance code and any HOA rules control the specific height. Verify your parcel's jurisdiction before assuming a number applies.
Overgrown lots that constitute a public nuisance must be abated within 30 days of a county Notice to Abate; county may abate and lien costs.
