How Arizona farm leases work
When a Arizona lease can end, how much notice it takes and what to put in writing.
How to end a Arizona farm lease
Arizona has no statute written just for farm leases. Under A.R.S. § 33-341, a tenancy from year to year ends at the end of each year unless the landlord gives written permission to remain longer, and that permission must say how long.
| Situation | Notice rule |
|---|---|
| Year-to-year tenancy | Ends at the end of each year unless written permission to stay |
| Written lease with an end date | Ends on the date in the lease |
| State Trust agricultural lease | Governed by the State Land Department lease and A.R.S. Title 37 |
Because the statute gives no notice period, write the end date, renewal terms and how notice is delivered into every Arizona lease. Send notice by certified mail so you have proof. Compare every state in Oaken's farm lease termination guide.

Oral vs. written leases in Arizona
Under Arizona's statute of frauds, a lease longer than one year generally must be in writing to be enforced. A handshake deal also leaves no record of water, irrigation district assessments or multi-crop rotations.
Our advice: a lease that has rolled over for years on a handshake leaves no record of the rent, input splits or notice terms. Write it down, even for a one-year deal. Get the templates →

Arizona farm lease questions
What is the deadline to terminate a farm lease in Arizona?
Arizona has no farm-specific termination deadline. Under A.R.S. § 33-341, a tenancy from year to year ends at the end of each year unless the landlord gives written permission to remain longer. A written lease ends on the date it states. Because state law sets no notice period, the lease itself should set the end date and how notice is given.
Does an Arizona farm lease renew automatically?
Not under the statute. A.R.S. § 33-341 says a year-to-year tenancy ends at the end of each year unless written permission is given to stay, and the permission must state how long the tenant may remain. A lease can still include its own renewal clause.
How long can an Arizona State Trust agricultural lease run?
Agricultural leases of Arizona State Trust land are capped at 10 years under Arizona Administrative Code R12-5-702, and they follow the State Land Department's own cancellation and renewal rules under A.R.S. Title 37.
Does an Arizona farm lease need to be in writing?
A lease longer than one year generally must be in writing to be enforceable under Arizona's statute of frauds. Even a one-year lease should be written so the rent, water and crop terms can be proven.
What is the average farmland cash rent in Arizona in 2026?
Across the 4 of 15 Arizona counties with published 2026 USDA NASS cash rent data, the median county rent for irrigated cropland is $276 per acre. Oaken's Arizona cash rent map shows every published county, its rank and its change from 2025.
How does Oaken help manage Arizona farmland leases?
Oaken keeps every Arizona lease, landowner and payment in one place. It tracks rent due dates and each lease's notice deadline, calculates flex and crop-share payments, and gives landowners a portal for statements, so nothing depends on a binder or one person's memory.
