Arizona's Right to Farm Act in ARS 3-112 protects established agricultural operations from nuisance suits when surrounding land use changes.
ARS 3-112 declares it state policy to conserve, protect, and encourage agricultural operations. An agricultural operation that has been in continuous existence for at least one year and was not a nuisance at its start cannot be deemed a nuisance because of changed conditions in the surrounding area. The protection covers farming, ranching, dairying, poultry, and related activities. Plaintiffs in nuisance actions against protected operations may be liable for attorney fees if they fail.
Improper nuisance suits against protected farms can result in awarded attorney fees and costs to the operator.
