Arizona Court Rules Views Not Nuisances | Tucson News

Arizona’s top court just ruled that blocking your view or invading your privacy with a neighbor’s new house doesn’t automatically qualify as a legal nuisance — even if it tanks your property value. In a case dating back to 2014, homeowners sued after neighbors built uphill for a better view, ruining their backyard upgrades and dropping their home’s worth. But the court said Arizona law doesn’t recognize a right to privacy across property lines, and mere inconvenience — no matter how annoying — isn’t enough to meet the legal bar for “nuisance.” The decision clears the way for stalled construction and sets a major precedent for future disputes over views and privacy in the state.
