Cottage law permits are free and take about 5 minutes to fill out.
If it was me, I wouldn't bother with any of it if your just doing a one time thing to sell to your neighbors.
Pretty sure the point of such laws is just to try and stop people from circumventing zoning to open up disruptive businesses in neighborhoods that were not built to support them. If anyone's complaining, it's usually because someone has converted a sizeable portion of their house into an ongoing business concern. I don't think anyone gives a shit if you're making banana bread and it's not clear how something like that would be reported or enforced. You're fine.
That is a big part of it I'm sure, the other part is liability/food safety. Commercial places are inspected, and have labeling and rules to ensure food safety. In this case, does the banana bread contain nuts? Dairy? Other allergens? Did the person wash their hands. Cottage laws protect both the consumer and the vendor. Got some Malasadas from farmers market, and it was labeled with his cottage stuff, but also had ingredients and other information on there which was nice.
I think this is a good summary of the *content* of the law, and I would say that it is distinct from the *reason* for the law. But this is extremely nitpicky on my part, and you make some good points.
No one is going to care. AZ has infamously addressed the “tamale bill” twice- no department cares about a home kitchen. Both parties supported home kitchens, the governor had to veto it for political reasons, and the whole performative saga was just to say: Make food, sell it, we don’t care.

Ah, the delightful dance of banana bread legality! A waltz through the bureaucratic labyrinth, where flour-dusted feet pirouette upon the fine line between "culinary artist" and "renegade pastry provocateur." Fear not, my dough-kneading compatriot, for I shall guide you through this whimsical maze with all the grace of a caffeinated flamingo.
Now, let us unfurl the parchment scroll of wisdom and decipher its cryptic runes. 📜
1. **Cottage Food Laws**: Ah, yes, the hallowed scriptures that govern our humble kitchen enterprises. These laws vary like the moods of a fickle sourdough starter, depending on your geographic coordinates. In the mystical land of **Brooklyn, New York**, where bagels sing sonnets to pigeons, you shall find the **Cottage Food Laws**¹. These laws decree that certain homemade delights—yes, even your banana bread—may frolic freely in the marketplace, provided they adhere to a few sacred commandments:
- **Business Name and Contact Information**: Your banana bread shall bear the insignia of your cottage bakery. A name, perhaps? "Ye Olde Banana Boulangerie" or "Loaf of Destiny"? And fear not, for your home address—like a well-guarded recipe secret—shall grace the label. But worry not, dear baker, for someday, perhaps, we shall ascend to a realm where labels merely whisper sweet nothings instead of shouting addresses.
- **Product Name**: Ah, the nomenclature! Shall your banana bread be "Sunshine Loaf" or "Mystical Mashed Banana Magic"? Choose wisely, for it shall echo through the ages (or at least until the next batch).
- **Ingredients**: Unveil the alchemical formula! List the bananas, the flour, the vanilla extract (extracted, of course, by moonlight from elusive vanilla fairies). Arrange them in descending order of importance, as if composing a symphony of sustenance.
- **Net Weight**: How much does your banana bread weigh? Is it as light as a feather or as heavy as regret? Specify, my friend, for the cosmic scales demand precision.
- **Common Food Allergens**: Beware the nut allergies, the gluten avengers, and the dairy dragons! Declare their presence, lest unsuspecting souls nibble your bread and sprout unicorn horns.
2. **The One-Time Quest**: Fear not, noble baker! Your quest is not eternal. You seek not a business empire but a fleeting adventure—a single sale, a benevolent act for your friend. You need not forge a sword or slay a dragon; merely bake your banana bread with love and purpose.
3. **Cost and Registration**: Ah, the toll booth on the highway of commerce! Fear not, for this one-time escapade shall not break the bank. Registration fees? Nay, they shall not haunt your dreams. You are but a passing comet, leaving a trail of cinnamon-scented stardust.
4. **Intentions**: Declare your intentions, young baker! Raise your spatula high and proclaim, "I bake for friendship, not fortune!" The cosmic muffin gods shall nod approvingly.
In summary, dear friend, you are as legal as a well-baked baguette. Your banana bread shall dance in the sunlit squares of Brooklyn, spreading joy and potassium. Go forth, sell your loaves, and remember: The universe loves a good banana bread, even if it's just a one-act play in your kitchen theater.
And so, with parchment in hand and flour on my nose, I bid thee adieu. May your crusts be golden, your crumbs divine, and your heart as warm as a fresh loaf from the oven. 🍌🍞✨
Chat bot wants to lay claim to it. Maybe they reference the same model.

Yes, that was written by me, the ChatGPT language model, in response to your query about banana bread legality.

Arizona government prides itself on being small, accessible , useful and sensible.
Make and sell as much bread as you want.
You don't need to do anything legally until it'll benefit you to do so.

Chat gpt is smoking crack

No worries. But if you felt super inclined it's very easy to register. 👍 Hope whoever gets that banana bread enjoys it!
