Building guides for the Prescott area

Most surprises start with the lot

A custom home is easier to plan when you know what's coming. In this part of Arizona, most of what surprises people has little to do with the house. It's about the land: the rock under the topsoil, the grade, where the water comes from, where the wastewater goes, and which office or committee has a say.

We wrote these guides to answer the questions we hear most. They explain how things generally work in Yavapai County and link to the agencies that set the rules. Rules change and every property is different, so treat them as a starting point, then talk to us about your own lot.
