Does your name go on a list etc.. do they come to your house to check to see if you are staying within your county guidelines?

I want to stay within the legal limit. my county allows 6 mature and 12 immature plants. is a mature plant defined by the law as a plant in flower?, what if you have 2 different strains one says harvest in sept/oct, the other november. are the ones ready in sept/oct considered mature? so therefore the ones to harvest in nov are considered immature? or are they all gonna be considered mature in a few months?

i hope you all understood my rambling.
