It refers to areas of land that are legally designated to remain in their natural desert state, typically to preserve the natural environment, protect native vegetation, and ensure wildlife habitats remain undisturbed. In many Arizona communities, including Scottsdale and surrounding areas, NAOS is a requirement in residential developments to maintain the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert and limit the impact of construction on the environment. NAOS areas cannot be disturbed, built on, or landscaped, and they serve as a buffer between homes and surrounding natural features like washes, desert plants, and wildlife corridors. Homeowners are typically required to respect NAOS restrictions, which are recorded as part of the property deed.
