Additional Info
In 1997, the Arizona Legislature instituted a ban on wood burning fireplaces and some wood burning stoves in all new construction homes. It took effect on January 1, 1999, and applies to all cities and towns inside Arizona counties with populations greater than 1.2 million. Currently, of the state’s 15 counties, only Maricopa County is this large. Municipalities in Maricopa County had until December 31, 1998, to comply. In the year leading up to the ban’s enforcement, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, Mesa, Gilbert, Paradise Valley and Carefree had all passed ordinances to eliminate wood burning fireplaces in newly built homes.
