Arizona House has passed HB 2084 (2020 | AZ) that would allow private property owners to build a wall without permitting.
The Daily Courier | Arizona House: Border-dwellers can build walls without permits
State Legislation. Border Walls on Private Property.
- January 9, 2020
Which state? Arizona
What is Arizona allowing with border walls on private property? HB 2084 (2020 | AZ) will allow:
- The goal is to preempt “overzealous local officials will block construction by erecting procedural barriers.”
- Border walls on private property would not be subject to building codes or safety inspections
- To prevent what happened in Texas when local officials were awarded a cease and desist order for a private border wall that was ultimately subject to local building & safety codes
