In unincorporated Pinal County, junk, scrap, discarded appliances, tires, and car parts stored outside are code violations. Scrap and waste must be removed or hidden from view, and construction materials cannot be stored in the front yard.
Pinal County Code Compliance treats outside accumulation of scrap, junk, and debris as a top reported violation. Scrap is defined as any item that in its present condition cannot be used for its original intended purpose. Old junk, garbage, tires, furniture, appliances, and car parts stored in the open must be removed or screened from view. Construction and building materials require a valid permit, may not be stored in the front yard, must stay at least 10 feet from side and rear property lines, cannot exceed 6 feet in height, and must be removed within 30 days of project completion. These rules apply to unincorporated county land; cities set their own container standards.
Handled as a public nuisance under the RTO ordinance: 30-day Notice to Abate, then county abatement with costs assessed against the property.
