Pinal County compels owners in unincorporated areas to remove rubbish, trash, weeds, filth, debris, and dilapidated buildings that constitute a public nuisance. A Notice to Abate gives 30 days to comply before the county abates and assesses the cost as a property lien.
Under A.R.S. 11-268, Pinal County's Board of Supervisors adopted a nuisance ordinance (2024-PZ-C-002-24) requiring owners, lessees, or occupants of unincorporated properties to abate accumulations of rubbish, trash, weeds, filth, debris, or dilapidated buildings that are hazards to public health and safety. Development Services Code Compliance serves a Notice to Abate; the owner has 30 calendar days to comply. If not, the county removes the nuisance and assesses the actual cost, plus inspection and incidental expenses, against the property. Inside cities (Casa Grande, Maricopa, Apache Junction, Florence), the city's own blight code governs instead.
County abates after 30-day Notice to Abate; actual removal cost, inspection, and incidental expenses assessed against the property and collected as a lien.
