Prescott Valley, AZ Public Conduct: Public Marijuana Use (2026)

Article 10-07 of the Prescott Valley Town Code, titled Recreational Marijuana, came in through Ordinance No. 887, enacted 01/28/21 by the Town Council of the Town of Prescott Valley, Arizona. Section 10-07-010 ties it to Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 36-2851 and 36-2857 and says it prohibits or regulates use, sale, cultivation, manufacture, transport, production, distribution and possession in addition to the zoning limits in Chapter 13. Section 10-07-020 adopts the definitions in A.R.S. Section 36-2850 instead of writing local ones.

The public-place rules sit in Section 10-07-030. Subsection A prohibits the use, sale, cultivation, manufacture, production or distribution of marijuana or marijuana products on Town property. Subsection B makes it unlawful for an individual to smoke marijuana or marijuana products on public property, in a public space, or open space in the Town. Subsection A reaches every form of use on Town land, while Subsection B is worded around smoking and extends to public property, public space and open space in the Town.

Section 10-07-060 adds a notice-based rule for places that are not public. Where reasonable notice prohibiting marijuana or marijuana product consumption has been provided, it is unlawful to knowingly consume marijuana or marijuana products on property where the person who occupies, owns or controls it has prohibited consumption on the premises. Both the notice and the knowledge are elements of the offense.

Section 10-07-040 covers home use. Cultivation is unlawful in the Town except as provided by the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the Arizona Smart and Safe Act and Chapter 13, and processing or manufacturing with any liquid or gas other than alcohol that has a flashpoint below one hundred (100) degrees Fahrenheit is prohibited. Section 10-07-050 is reserved after Ordinance No. 2025-962 repealed it on 10/09/25.
