Jurisdiction matters. Confirm whether the parcel is unincorporated, inside a city, or subject to tribal jurisdiction. A county rule does not automatically govern every location within its geographic boundaries.
No county-specific requirement verified. Contact the local planning or agricultural authority before proceeding.

This is an evidence gap, not proof that no restrictions exist.

Re-verification is needed. A historical source, unresolved current-law question or review date requires confirmation before relying on this record.

Source-backed findings

Ordinances and changes

Certified Ordinance 2667 adopted in 2021 adds industrial hemp cultivation prohibitions to the inland zoning chapter, including research cultivation.

Applies to: Historical inland ordinance; unincorporated Humboldt County

The document has inconsistent inland/coastal applicability wording. Current codification and Coastal Commission status must be reconciled; this record does not assert one current rule across both zones.

Verification: Official-source statement reviewed; overall county research remains Re-verification needed.
