Building in Chino Valley

What the work actually involves here

Most of what gets built in Chino Valley is new, and most of it sits on acreage where the utilities are the project. Power can be a long run from the nearest pole, water usually means a well, and waste means a septic system that needs a site evaluation before anything is designed. None of that is unusual, but all of it has to be sequenced early, because the answers change the building's siting and sometimes its footprint. The older ranch properties along AZ-89 are the other half of the work, and those are remodels.

Common Questions

Chino Valley questions we get asked

What's involved in building on acreage near Chino Valley?

Three things a lot inside a town already has: water, power, and waste. A well means a drilling contractor and a timeline you do not fully control. Power may be a long run from the nearest connection, priced by the foot. Septic requires a site evaluation and a county permit before the design is final. These get settled first, because they influence where on the lot the house can go.

Do you build shops, garages, and outbuildings?

Yes, and on Chino Valley acreage they are frequently the first thing built. A shop or garage can go up ahead of the house, which gives you secure storage and a staging point for the main build. They carry their own permit requirements and, if they are getting power or water, their own utility runs.

Who issues permits in Chino Valley?

The Town of Chino Valley inside town limits and Yavapai County outside. Most acreage builds fall under the county, which also handles septic permitting and the site evaluation that goes with it.

Do you remodel the older ranch properties along AZ-89?

Yes. Those houses tend to be well built but dated, and the common scope is systems and envelope, meaning electrical service upgrades, plumbing, insulation, windows, and roofing, before anything cosmetic. Additions are often straightforward there because the lots have room and the setbacks are generous.
