Hunting Unit 2C

Game Management Unit 2C

Species within this unit: Antelope, and Mule Deer.

Beginning at St. Johns on U.S. Hwy 191 (AZ Hwy 61); west on U.S. Hwy 180 (AZ Hwy 61) to Concho; southwest on AZ Hwy 61 to U.S. Hwy 60; east on U.S. Hwy 60 to U.S. Hwy 191 (U.S. Hwy 180); north on U.S. Hwy 191 (U.S. Hwy 180) to St. Johns.

Species Information

Antelope

Overview: The pronghorn population has decreased in this unit over the past few years. As always, scouting the unit before the hunt greatly increases your chances of success.

Land Status: There is a strip of mostly State Trust land along the southern border of this unit. Most of the remainder of the unit has a "checkerboard" land status. That is, the land ownership status of alternating sections is different. Some are private and State Trust (State) lands mixed, while others are private and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands mixed. Legal hunting is allowed on all State Trust lands and BLM lands, however, access to these lands is not guaranteed. You must have permission to cross private lands to get to these other lands. Some ranches have been closed to hunting in the past.

It is always recommended that hunters obtain permission to hunt on or cross over private land. This allows for good relationships to be built between the hunters and private landowners, and prevents the hunt from being interrupted by having a landowner ask the hunter to leave their property.Various maps of the area can be purchased at map stores in Arizona. The BLM has 1:100,000 scale land status maps that are good references when hunting in these units. These maps can be purchased at BLM offices and some general map stores.

Areas: Almost the entire unit is considered pronghorn habitat. The southern half may have a little greater density of pronghorn, plus better access. This unit has better access than either Units 2A or 2B.

The southern portion of the unit is also the most common area to be hunted. Scouting other areas, before the hunt, may allow a person to hunt other areas of the unit without having to worry about other hunters.

There is more land being subdivided along the southwest and western portions of the unit. This includes the area from the Vernon turn-off on Highway 60, west to Highway 61, and back northeasterly along Highway 61 to the Concho Lake area. Hunters will have to watch out for new homes, remembering that you cannot shoot within 1/4 mile of an occupied building.

Concerns: The most common complaints from landowners deal with off-road driving. It is illegal to drive off-road with any vehicle, including ATV's, on State and BLM lands. Also, criminal charges can be filed for damages to private land from off-road driving. Please help us to keep all of these areas open to hunting by respecting both the land and the landowners.
Questions? Contact the Pinetop regional office @ 928-367-4281.

Mule Deer

Overview: The majority of this unit has very low-density mule deer habitat, with a few pockets of higher concentrations. Pre-season scouting is very important.

Land Status: There is a strip of mostly State Trust land along the southern border of this unit. Most of the remainder of the unit has a "checkerboard" land status. That is, the land ownership status of alternating sections is different. Some are a mix of private and State Trust (State) lands, while others are a mix of private and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. Legal hunting is allowed on all State lands and BLM lands, however, access to these lands is not guaranteed. You must have permission to cross private lands to get to these other lands. Some ranches have been closed to hunting in the past.

Areas: Most of this hunt unit is not mule deer habitat. Some small pockets of deer occur in the TV Knoll area; along the southern border of Unit 2C; west of Hwy 191, between Lyman Lake and St. Johns (most of this deer habitat is on private land); and the Concho area (again, most of the deer habitat is on private land).
Special Regulations: Successful archery deer hunters must contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department in person, or by telephone (1-866-903-DEER [3337]), within ten (10) days of taking a deer, unless the deer has been checked through a mandatory hunter checking station (Pursuant to R12-4-308).

Hunting Unit 3B

Game Management Unit 3B

Species within this unit: Antelope, Deer, Black Bear, Elk, Mountain Lion, Merriam's Turkey, Tree Squirrel, and Waterfowl.

Unit 3B Boundaries

Beginning at Snowflake; southerly along AZ Hwy 77 to U.S. Hwy 60; southwesterly along U.S. Hwy 60 to the Fort Apache Indian Reservation boundary; easterly along the reservation boundary to the Vernon-McNary road (FR 224); northerly along this road to U.S. Hwy 60; west on U.S. Hwy 60 to AZ Hwy 61; northeasterly on AZ Hwy 61 to AZ Hwy 180A; northerly on AZ Hwy 180A to Concho-Snowflake road; westerly on the Concho- Snowflake road to Snowflake.

Species Information

Antelope

Overview: Pronghorn antelope are the most widely spread big game animal in Unit 3B. Overall population numbers are decreasing throughout the unit, which is of moderate habitat quality. They can be located anywhere in the unit, with the highest buck-to-doe ratios and highest overall numbers occurring in the northeast and northwest portions of the unit.

Outdoor activities including pre-season scouting and developing local landowner contacts, where necessary, for access permission into these northern areas may yield quality hunts and greatly increase chances for taking larger-sized antelope.Hunting opportunities also exist on U.S. Forest Service lands immediately north and also south of Hwy 60, where home ranges are more contained and movement patterns more predictable. However, this predictability, combined with annual hunting pressure, has reduced the population and buck-to-doe ratio south of Hwy 60. Current unit-wide hunt structures offer archery and general firearm hunting opportunities. There are increased opportunities north of Highway 60 due to the higher population and higher buck-to-doe ratio.

Areas: Woolhouse Habitat Area, south of Hwy 60, is a popular hunting area for antelope by both archers and general firearm hunters drawn for unit-wide hunts. Antelope can be glassed with ease from the numerous knolls and mountains here. Many general firearm hunters in this area fill their tags on opening morning. Hunting pressure has reduced the size, number, and quality of bucks in this area, and has been the justification for lower permit numbers. The USFS Woolhouse Habitat Area is closed to all motor vehicles. Hunters should contact the USFS Lakeside Ranger Station at (928) 368-5111 for additional information regarding this closure.

USFS lands north of Hwy 60 support antelope herds near Allen Severson Wildlife Area, Long Lake and Ortega Mountain. Long Lake and immediate surrounding areas are central to these popular hunting locations, found just outside of Show Low. The terrain in these recommended areas is predominately flat, with large irregular open areas surrounded mostly by juniper trees. Pre-scouting will prove these herds to be quite predictable prior to opening day.

In the northeastern part of Unit 3B, hunters should scout areas near Windsor Valley, Critchlow Flat and from Mesa Redonda east to Mormon Hill, just outside the town of Concho. The terrain here consists of gently rolling hills or flat, dry grasslands with occasional mesas. Although private land development is increasing and permission may be necessary in some of these areas, a trophy or quality buck can also be harvested as a reward for these efforts.

In northwestern 3B, hunters should scout areas from east of the Snowflake-Taylor community to Black Mesa, and south towards Flint Knoll and Love Lake. Buck-to-doe ratios are higher than elsewhere in the unit, possibly due to the expansion of housing and fragmentation of habitat making hunting opportunities more difficult. Again, with a little pre-scouting and landowner contacts, hunters may be rewarded with an above average harvest.



Deer

Overview: The Unit 3B deer population is predominately mule deer, with an occasional sighting of a white-tailed deer being reported. Although improving, recent extended drought conditions have severely affected annual recruitment of fawns into the adult population of the mule deer herd. As a result, overall deer numbers are down throughout the unit, while buck-to-doe ratios remain stable. Current hunt structure is limited to archery and muzzleloader-only hunts.

Land Status: Widely dispersed private lands create a checkerboard of land ownership north of Hwy 60 where favorable deer hunting opportunities exist. This checkerboard land status creates some local access issues that require a combination of pre-season scouting and obtaining landowner permission. Land status maps are strongly recommended for hunting north of Hwy 60. Hunting opportunities south of Hwy 60 exist almost entirely on Forest Service lands, where access is not an issue. Hunters considering applying for Unit 3B deer hunts should not consider this a trophy hunt unit, although a few trophy caliber deer are harvested each year with an overall hunter success rate average of 25 percent.

Areas: Most predictable deer hunting opportunities north of Hwy 60 exist around Mesa Redondo and along Black Mesa. These areas give hunters some glassing opportunities below upper ridges on slopes where ample browse plants exist. Most stalking will be uphill, but in brush cover favorable to the hunter. Some early morning deer will be located in lower and open flats, however, stalking opportunities are complicated for archery and muzzleloader hunters due to lack of available cover. In good, consecutive rainfall years, these areas produce moderate numbers of mule deer. They also produce the best trophy opportunities for the unit, where occasional bucks approaching 30-inch main beam spreads can be found. Establishing local contacts and pre-season scouting for fresh deer sign will greatly improve the quality and success rates for this difficult hunt.

For hunters who prefer to hunt on public lands without the complications found in northern portions of the unit, hunting south of Hwy 60 is best. Most success in this area is limited to numerous individual knolls and mountains where browse is available on the upper third of the slope. Hunters also have success in recently harvested timber sale areas, where above-average forb growth exists, or along riparian travel corridors, where a diversity of perennial plants provides adequate cover and forage. Stalking cover for archers and muzzleloaders is more than adequate in these predominately-timbered areas, but overall deer numbers are lower and locating deer will prove difficult. On the average, the larger mule deer in Unit 3B are north of Hwy 60, but some of the more elusive timber bucks are very worthy quarry for most hunters.

Deer observations in the southern portion of Unit 3B have been increasing over the past two years, potentially due to higher fawn survival rates on Forest Service lands.

Special Regulations: Successful archery deer hunters must contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department in person, or by telephone (1-866-903-DEER [3337]), within ten (10) days of taking a deer, unless the deer has been checked through a mandatory hunter checking station (Pursuant to R12-4-308).



Black Bear

Overview: The current hunt structure for Unit 3B black bears includes an archery-only and two general firearms hunts in the fall. Each hunt season has non-permit tags that can be purchased over the counter.

Special Regulations: Legal animals include any bear, except a sow with cubs. This restriction requires hunters to study located animals prior to harvesting them, and establish that cubs are not nearby and simply out of sight. Studying bears prior to the kill in the early season will also limit hunters from harvesting bears with rubs on their coats during warm weather.

Harvest objectives are in place in Unit 3B, and may vary annually. Hunters are responsible for calling 1-800-970-BEAR to determine if Unit 3B, or any other desired hunt unit, is still open. Bear hunt seasons in Unit 3B will close on the Wednesday immediately following a completed female harvest objective.

Areas: Lake Mountain and surrounding knolls in the southeastern portion of the unit contain areas where bears are harvested annually. Hunting techniques in these areas vary annually due to weather fluctuations, and hunters should adjust accordingly. For example, acorn crops may prove to be successful hunting areas one year, while water may be limited and thereby increase success in the following year. Hounds are the most effect method to harvest a bear. Hunters should always be aware of fresh sign around water holes and drainages.

Wolf Mountain is also a popular hunting area during the early hunts due to the high numbers of bears and the close proximity to rocky slopes and thick oak stands. Other locations with high success rates in the unit are areas surrounding Blue Ridge, Little Brushy, and Ecks Mountains.Springer Mountain and huntable areas along Billy Creek outside the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside are attractive areas for archery bear hunters. Bears in these areas are often nocturnal nuisance animals within the city limits, and Billy Creek provides them a travel corridor and daily water needs. These bears establish predictable travel routes that can be detected by scouting Billy Creek and Springer Mountain.Timber Knoll in the Vernon area and USFS areas surrounding the Pinetop-Lakeside Country Club also provide similar hunting opportunities for nuisance bears. Bear hunters, specifically archers, are encouraged to hunt these areas to assist local nuisance black bear management needs.Hunters interested in obtaining current nuisance bear hunting information, if available, should contact the Game and Fish Department’s Pinetop office at (928) 367-4281.



Elk

Overview: Elk management in Unit 3B focuses primarily on migratory animals utilizing historical breeding and wintering grounds in the southern portions of the unit. Hunt structures are designed to harvest bull elk through both early and late seasons, and antlerless elk during winter migration.

Areas: Pre-season scouting is strongly suggested prior to all hunts. Early season hunters will be able to locate elk by listening for bugling bulls. Elk during this time will primarily be at higher elevations, south of Hwy 60. November season hunters may also locate elk in small groups on Forest Service lands north and south of Hwy 60. December season hunters will find elk at various elevations, depending on weather. Depending on snow pack, antlerless elk can range throughout the southern two-thirds of Unit 3B during late hunts. Deep snow at higher elevations prompts wintering elk to migrate northward. Large herds of elk can be located from the Timber Mesa area to Vernon, including the Woolhouse Habitat Area.

By doing ample pre-season scouting, early bull hunts can be very successful. Rutting bulls are generally located above 6,500 feet in the timbered southern portion of the unit, where open parks and meadows, in close proximity to escape cover, serve as breeding grounds. However, bulls are also commonly taken in the Woolhouse Habitat Area, the Timber Mesa area, and, to a lesser degree, north of Hwy 60.

The late season bull hunt averages 50% hunt success, with nearly one-third of those being spikes. Branch-antlered bulls are common, but unpredictable, and are generally associated with dense vegetation on north slopes. Smaller bulls will be located near antlerless herds. Inclement weather will cause bulls to migrate northward to lower elevations.



Mountain Lion

Overview: Lion hunting in Unit 3B is open year-round. A hunting license and permit-tag are required, and both can be purchased over the counter at any Game and Fish Department office or license dealer.

Lion observations have been reported throughout the unit, but with no consistency. Lion tracks are as rare as lion sightings. Most lions have been taken while hunters were involved in some other type of hunting. Hunters specifically interested in locating lions will have best success with the aid of quality hunting dogs.

Areas: Harvest data and observation reports show no trends for hunt area recommendations. Lions have been taken and\or reported on Timber Mesa, Ortega Mtn., Sponsellor Mtn., Wolf Mtn., Morgan Mtn., Blue Ridge Mtn. and in the far north portion of Unit 3B on Mesa Redonda.

Merriam's Turkey

Overview: The current turkey hunt structure for Unit 3B includes an archery-only fall season and a limited weapon shotgun spring season. For the fall hunt, non-permit tags may be purchased over the counter, but during the spring, hunters must be drawn for hunt-permit tags through the spring draw process. Archery-only seasons are limited to bow and arrow-hunting equipment, while limited weapon shotgun seasons are limited to shotguns shooting shot, crossbow, and/or bow and arrow equipment. Rifled firearms are not a legal weapon for taking turkeys. Fall hunters can take any turkey, while spring hunters are limited to bearded turkeys only. A bag limit of one (1) turkey per calendar year is enforced.

Areas: In the fall, turkey hunters should hunt predominately-timbered areas in the southern portion of the district. These areas offer cooler temperatures and some prime fall turkey transition areas, which include an oak tree component, available water, and small clearings or open meadows. However, warm to hot weather conditions during August and September will cause few flocks to be located in Unit 3B, since birds will still be holding at even higher and cooler elevations in adjacent Unit 1. Try hunting south of Forest Service road (FR) 45, as few turkeys will be located north of timbered areas and cooler locations. Fall hunters should remember that fall non-permit tags are valid in multiple units, and hunters should check regulations for open areas to increase their hunting location opportunities and chances for success.



Tree Squirrel

Overview: Tree squirrel populations, specifically Abert’s, have good population numbers in Unit 3B, south of Forest Service road (FR) 45. Abert’s squirrels may be located in ponderosa pine stands with interlocking crowns, and favor those areas that also support an understory of Gambel oak. This type of habitat provides the squirrels with escape cover, nesting areas, and foraging opportunities, and will give hunters a good place to locate Abert’s.

Squirrels are active throughout the day, although the best hunting seems to be from first light to mid-morning. Stormy and/or windy weather provides less favorable hunting since squirrels are less active. Still-hunting is a preferred hunting method, where the hunter walks slowly, stopping and sitting often while the forest "quiets down." Scanning trees and the forest floor while still-hunting will provide quality time for both hunting and enjoying the day with a hunting partner, whether young or experienced.

Forest Service maps for the area may be obtained at any Apache-Sitgreaves Ranger District office. For more information, contact their office at (928) 368-5111.

Areas: From Vernon to Lakeside, all timbered areas as described south of FR 45.

Waterfowl

Overview: Waterfowl hunting in Unit 3B is limited, but quality hunting opportunities do exist. Sportsmen will find that hunt quality and the quantity of birds are weather-related, and affected by both local weather conditions and weather fronts throughout the northern states of the flyway. A good rule-of-thumb is calm and clear days early in the season are less productive than breezy and overcast days late in the season. The best technique for obtaining a bag limit is to hunt over decoys with a good dog, but some good areas, such as Silver Creek, do exist for jump-shooting opportunities. Hunters should practice their duck calling skills prior to the season since decoy spreads are greatly enhanced by skilled duck-callers. Nothing is worse than hunting next to a bad duck caller - and there should be no such thing with a little practice. Educational tapes are available and are very helpful to "tune your ear." Chest-waders are recommended at all locations throughout the unit, and will allow hunters to reach the prime islands and hunting spots. Camouflage, including face netting, is strongly recommended.

Duck species commonly taken include mallard, gadwall, widgeon, teal, northern shoveler, canvasback, pintail, redhead, ringneck, and bufflehead. Plenty of opportunity also exists for harvesting coots.

Goose hunting opportunities are not predictable. An occasional goose is harvested, but generally by a lucky duck hunter.

Most recommended locations have perimeter areas where chest-waders are not necessary to hunt, but hunters without retrieving dogs must consider their ability, or inability, to retrieve game birds after they are downed. It is unlawful to waste game birds by failing to retrieve them.

The most common violations by hunters include exceeding a species’ specific bag limit, using lead shot, unplugged shotguns, and littering while hunting by failing to pick up used shot shells. These violations can be avoided by such things as studying waterfowl identification booklets, available through Department offices, and positively identifying ducks prior to pulling the trigger. Purchase steel shot prior to the season and remove all lead shot from your gear. Check yourself to make sure your shotgun is capable of holding no more than three (3) shot shells, and pick up all litter while hunting, including shot shells. Remember that your hunting license can be revoked for littering while hunting.

Most areas in the unit improve later in the season as higher elevation lakes freeze and inclement weather patterns in northern states cause migrant birds to arrive.

Areas: Jacques Marsh, Allen Severson Wildlife Area, Silver Creek, Sponsellor Lake and Little Mormon Lake.

Ortega Lakes, Arizona - Possible White Mountains Master Planned Community

Ortega Lakes is a possible Apache County White Mountains master planned community is near the intersection of US 61 and US 60.

The possible Ortega Lakes, Arizona development was going to go before Apache County Planning and Zoning Commission back in August of 2007.

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes For August 2, 2007

Consideration/Discussion/Possible Approval of a vicinity plan for Ortega Lake, located in the Vernon area. The proposed master-planned community involves the subdivision of the 700-acre property into residential (multifamily and single-family homes) and neighborhood commercial communities, as well as a recreational improvement district and riparian management area. The owner of this property is Property Brokers.

This item was withdrawn.

Here is the MLS listing for this property:

The property commonly known as Ortega Lake comprises 700+/- acres of which 298+/- acres is the Silver Creek Flood Control & Irrigation District property. The remaining 402+/- is the Silver River Development deeded property. There is a written agreement between Silver Creek Flood Control and Silver River Development allowing for recreational uses the on Flood Control districts property. This project is located in Apache County at 35265 East Highway 60, approximately nine miles east of Show Low. The communities of Mountain View Lakes are being master planned engineered to provide a variety of lifestyles. Silver River Development is planning Mountain View as environmentally friendly, residential communities with miles of maintained walking and biking trails, boardwalks, and nature paths meandering through the development.

Location Description: The developer proposes a variety of planned residential and neighborhood commercial communities. Fronting the highway buffering the multi-family and resort parcels will be: Bank, Church, RV, Hotel, Restaurant, School, Gas Conveyance, Retail and Office PADS. This commercial frontage will buffer the higher density multi-family town home, condo parcels. This multi-family density will provide more choices for work force families or first time home owners entering the market. Then following the multi-family the transition would be for the larger single-family medium density home sites of 10,000-15,000 feet. Preserving more open space between the developments closest to the lakes and trail systems. This would save the premium lowest density sites of 15,000 to 40,000 feet for the remaining acres closest to the lakes and open space.

Highlights:

* 1500+/- units with 300+/- acres of Lakes & Trails.
* 30+/- acres of Commercial on US 60.
* 20+/- Acres of Hotel Resort with Lake Views!
* 9 Miles to Airport, Show Low & Golf.
* 300 Acres of recreational Lakes.
* Adjacent to Sitgreaves National Forest

Subdivisions Within a Subdivision

by Bill Day, Deputy Director of Subdivision Investigations

If a person purchases lots in an approved subdivision,
at what point does the purchaser become a
subdivider and need to obtain a public report before
offering any of the lots for sale?

A.R.S. § 32-2101(54) defines a subdivider as “any
person who offers for sale or lease six or more lots,
parcels or fractional interest in a subdivision or who
causes land to be subdivided into a subdivision for
the subdivider or others, or who undertakes to develop
a subdivision”.

A.R.S. § 32-2101(14) “Common Promotional Plan”
means a plan, undertaken by a person or group of
persons acting in concert, to offer lots for sale or
lease. If the land is offered for sale by a person or
group of persons acting in concert, and the land is
contiguous or is known, designated or advertised as
a common unit or by a common name, the land is
presumed, without regard to the number of lots covered
by each individual offering, as being offered for
sale or lease as part of a common promotional plan.”

A.R.S. § 32-2181(A) states in part “Before offering
subdivided lands for sale or lease, the subdivider
shall notify the commissioner in writing of the subdividers
intention”. (This means submitting an application
for public report.)

A.R.S. § 32-2183(F) states in part “ A subdivider
shall not sell or lease or offer for sale or lease in this

Buying Land in Apache County Arizona

Code of the West

It is important for you to know that life in the country is different from life in the city. County governments are not able to provide the same level of service that city governments provide. To that end, we are providing you with the following information to help you make an educated and informed decision to purchase rural land.

ROADS AND ACCESS
The fact that you can drive to your property does not necessarily guarantee that you, your guests and emergency service vehicles can achieve that same level of access at all times. Consider the following.

Emergency response
Response times by law enforcement, fire suppression and medical emergency services may vary due, in part, to the County’s geography, road conditions in bad weather, and the inadequacies of rural addressing. Emergency response to outlying areas can also be extremely slow and expensive. If the property you purchase is not in an existing Fire District, which is often the case in rural areas, you could be billed a substantial amount for the cost of a response to a fire or medical emergency.

Legal access
The existence of an unobstructed road to your property does not guarantee the road will remain open in the future or that you will have unlimited access. The road may cross another property. With the assistance of a title company or private attorney, verify existing easements and ensure that all necessary ingress/egress easements are in place.

Road maintenance
Apache County maintains about 800 miles of off reservation roads- 60(+/-) miles are paved. Many rural properties are accessed by public easements ("N" Roads), which are not maintained by the Apache County Roads Department – no grading or snow plowing. Some public easements are not maintained on a regular basis or maintained by anyone! It is very important to know if your property is accessed by a public easement or a county maintained road, what type of maintenance to expect, and who will maintain it.

Private road standards
Emergency service and large construction vehicles may encounter problems navigating small narrow roads. To address this issue, Apache County adopted an ordinance requiring access roads to be built to a certain standard. For more information, contact Apache County Engineering Department at our web site www.co.apache.az.us or 928-337-7528.

Extreme weather driving
In extreme weather conditions, roads (including County maintained roads) can become impassable. You may need a four wheel-drive vehicle and/or chains for all four tires to travel safely during storms, which can last for several days.

Natural Disasters
Natural disasters, especially floods, can destroy roads. A dry creek bed can become a raging torrent and wash out roads, bridges and culverts. Property owners served by private roads and subdivision roads are responsible for the repair and reconstruction of damaged roads and structures, which can be very expensive.

Paving
If an existing road is unpaved; it is highly unlikely that Apache County will pave it in the foreseeable future. If the seller of any property indicated that the road will be paved-be careful! Contact Apache County Engineering Department to verify the status of the road and any future plans for the road.

Vehicle "Wear and Tear"
Because unpaved roads are typically rough and slippery in wet weather, vehicle maintenance costs may increase when you regularly travel on these roads.
Construction costs/delays
It may be more expensive and time consuming to build a rural residence due to delivery fees and the time required for inspectors to reach your site.

Mail, newspaper and parcel delivery
Regular mail, newspaper and/or parcel delivery may not be available in all areas of the County. Check with the postmaster, local newspaper office and parcel delivery services in your area. Delivery fees may also be higher than within a city.

School Buses
School buses travel only on roads that have been designated as school bus routes by the school district. It may be necessary to drive your children to the nearest publicly maintained road to catch the school bus. Check with the school district to determine the appropriate school bus route for your area.

UTILITY SERVICES
Utility Services -such as water, sewer, electric and telephone may be unavailable in rural areas or may operate at a lesser standard than in cities. Also, repairs and maintenance may take longer and could be more expensive.

Electric Service
Electric service is not available to all areas of the County. Because costs to extend power lines can be prohibitive in certain areas, some property owners use a generator or alternative power sources such as solar or wind-powered systems. The cost of electric service includes a fee to tie in to the existing utility system and a monthly usage charge from the local utility company. There may also be underground trenching costs, material costs and electrician fees. In some cases, it is necessary to cross your neighbor’s property to bring power to your property (either overhead or underground lines). It is important to verify the existence of existing easements, or to obtain the proper easements prior to construction of the power lines. It is important to determine your power needs and level of service availability. Also, due to ongoing development and limited utility line capacity, electric power that is available today may not be available when you decide to build. If you are purchasing land with the plan to build at a future date, there is a possibility that electric lines (and other utilities) may not be large enough to accommodate you, if others connect during the time you wait to build.

Power outages
Power outages can occur in outlying areas more often than in more developed areas. Loss of electricity can interrupt your well water supply, interrupt your communications systems, cause food to spoil in refrigerators and freezers and possibly damage computer and electronics equipment. It is important to be able to survive in rural areas without utilities for a least a week in severe cold weather.

Water
If treated domestic water service is available, the tap fees and monthly service fees may be more expensive than municipal water systems. If direct water service is not available, you will need to find an alternative water supply. The most common means is to haul water, or have it delivered by a commercial outfit. Hauling water can be an arduous task and requires a vehicle and/or a trailer large enough to carry a very large water tank. Depending on how much water your family uses, the tank may have to be filled frequently.

Wells
Another alternative water supply is to drill a well. Drilling and pumping costs can be considerable and, in some cases, prohibitive. The quality and quantity of well water may vary considerably from location to location, and from season to season. Well permits must be obtained from the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the Apache County Department of Health Services Environmental Quality Division.

Sewer/Septic Service
Sewer service is not available in most rural areas. If sewer service is not available, you will need an approved septic system or other treatment process. The type of soil available for a leach field is very important in determining the cost and function of a new septic system. In some cases, a standard septic system will not work (based on soil conditions) and an alternative septic system is required. Alternative systems can be very expensive (they could exceed $20,000). If there is an existing septic system on the property, it should be checked by a reliable sanitation service. Some existing septic systems may have been installed without the required permits and, therefore, could be inadequate. You are strongly urged to work with a private engineer and the Apache County Department of Health Services Environmental Quality Division (www.co.apache.az.us.com) to determine the adequacy of an existing system, the type of new system you might need and associated costs.

Telephone Service
Rural telephone services can range from full telephone service-to cellular phone service only-to no service at all. It may also be difficult to obtain additional telephone lines for fax or computer modem use.

Trash Removal - Trash removal can be a challenge in a rural area. In some cases you may be able to contract with a private solid waste hauler, or there may be a dumpster located within an acceptable distance from your home. In more remote areas, the most viable option may be to haul your trash to a landfill or a solid waste transfer station. It is important to know that it is illegal to create your own trash dump, even on your own property. Residential recycling pick-up is not available in most rural areas.

WIDE OPEN SPACES
There are many issues that can affect your decision to purchase a piece of property. It is important to research these items prior to your purchase.

Building Permits
Building permits are required in all unincorporated areas of the County, but not all properties that are for sale are legal for building. Building permits will not be issued on properties that are too small for the zoning district in which they are located or if the parcel was created without proper approvals. The County Assessor has many parcels that are recognized for the purpose of taxation, but for which a building permit cannot be issued. You are strongly advised to check with Apache County Planning and Zoning to determine whether a parcel is suitable for building.

Easements
Existing easements on your property may require you to allow construction of roads, power line, water lines, and sewer lines etc., across your land. These existing easements may also prevent you from building your residence, accessory buildings, or fences where you want to locate them. All legally recorded easements should be disclosed in your title report. Check with your Real Estate Agent, Title Company, or the Apache Count Recorder’s Office to identify all existing recorded easements.

Mineral Rights
Many Property owners do not own the mineral rights on/under their property. This information may be included in your deed or in your title report. Owners of these rights can change the surface characteristics in order to extract mineral deposits. Much of the land in Apache County can be used for mining. A special review by the Planning and Zoning County Commissioners is usually required.

Property Plat/Registered Survey
The only way to verify the location of property lines is by having a Registered Land Surveyor survey and mark the property corners. Before applying for a building permit, it is the property owner’s responsibility to accurately identify property lines.

Fences - Fences that separate properties are often not aligned accurately with the property lines and should not be relied on to identify property boundaries. Again, the survey done by a Registered Land Surveyor is the only way to confirm the location of your property lines.

Deed Restrictions/Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs)
Many subdivisions and individual parcels have covenants and/or deed restrictions that limit the use of the property. These documents are private agreements and are not enforceable by the County. It is important to obtain a copy of the covenants/deed restrictions (or verify that there are none) and determine if you can live with the rules.

Homeowners Associations
Homeowners associations typically establish by-laws that outline how the organization operates and they may set monthly or annual dues. In some cases, they also enforce CC&Rs. You may be legally required to join the association, which often takes care of common elements, roads, open space, etc. A poorly managed homeowner association or poorly written covenants can result in problems for the property owner-check with neighbors who have belonged to the association for a long time to determine its effectiveness.

The Future of Your Property
What surrounds your property now is not a good indicator of what the surroundings will look like in the future. Spectacular views can be replaced by structures if neighboring private parcels are already approved for development. There is also no guarantee that surrounding public lands will remain undeveloped. Check with Apache County Planning and Zoning Department and appropriate state and federal agencies to find out how the properties are zoned and to see what future developments may be in the planning stages.

Floodplains
Before you decide to build your home near a ditch or channel, consider the potential danger to your family and property. All channels have an associated floodplain but only larger ones have been studied and mapped. Consult Apache County Engineer Department regarding potential flood and drainage issues with your land. If there is an existing ditch across your property, there is a good possibility that it is covered by an existing easement that may not be of record. Through the easement, owners’ of the ditch are allowed to enter your property to gain access and use heavy equipment if necessary to maintain the ditch.

Irrigation Channels/Streams
Water flowing in an irrigation channel or stream belongs to someone. Do not assume that because water flows across your land, you can use it. Check with your neighbors and the Water Rights Division of the Arizona Department of Water Resources to determine specific water rights.

MOTHER NATURE
Residents of rural areas may experience unique problems when the elements and the earth turn unfriendly. Here are some thoughts for your consideration.

Characteristics of Your Property
The physical characteristics of your property can be both positive and negative. Forested areas are a wonderful environmental amenity, but they can also increase the risk of your home becoming involved in a catastrophic forest fire. Defensible perimeters are very helpful in protecting buildings from forest fires and can also protect the forest from igniting if your house catches on fire. Building in a forested area can be as dangerous as building in a flash flood area. If you start a forest fire, you are responsible for the cost incurred to fight and extinguish the fire.
Fire Protection- Rural dwellers are expected to show a measure of self-reliance in protecting their home from fire. Protecting your home from wildfire starts with YOU. Please look around your home and see which of these FIREWISE fundamentals apply to you.
• Be easy to find- have a readable address.
• Be accessible- Driveways and roads need to be able to accommodate emergency vehicles.
• Create defensible space around your house. Remove leaf and pine needle accumulation along with other flammables within at least 30 feet of the house.
• Cut down trees to create open space around your house. By ensuring that trees or clumps of trees are properly spaced (suggested 20 feet apart at the canopy); you can help prevent flames from traveling from tree to tree in a solid front-or crown fire. Properly thinning trees within 125 feet of your home and eliminating those branches that overhang the roof can improve the chances of protecting your home form an advancing wildfire.
• Remove tall, dry grasses from the surrounding property. Tall, dry grasses provide a path for fire that can lead directly to a house.
• Remove leaves and pine needles from your roof and gutters. During a fire, debris on the roof and/or in the gutters could be ignited by flying embers.
• Remove "ladder fuels." Prune tree limbs so the lowest is between 6’-10’ from the ground. Fire burning through tall, dry grass could ignite these limbs and climb to the top of the tree with relative ease.
• Check your gas-powered equipment and garden hoses to be sure they are in good repair. Yard equipment needs annual maintenance and proper fueling. During wildland fire season, fuel your lawn mower properly—away from dry, flammable grasses. Hoses develop leaks and deteriorate with age and exposure.
• Prune bushes and shrubs regularly. Remove excess growth as well as dead leaves and branches to decrease their flammability and the threat they could pose during a wildland fire.

Dust - Because of the County’s arid climate, dust is a common rural characteristic. Large amounts of windborne dust can be generated from unpaved dirt, cinder or gravel roads. If you or anyone in your family suffers from respiratory ailments, it is important to consider how the dust may affect your health. Dust will always be a reality in rural areas.

Landscaping
Because Apache County receives less than 20 inches of precipitation per year, water is a scarce resource that should be used wisely.

Snow Accumulation - North facing slopes or canyons rarely see direct sunlight in the winter. There is a possibility that large amounts of snow will accumulate and not melt throughout the winter. In these conditions, keeping an access road open can be difficult and expensive.

Steep Slopes
Steep slopes can slide in unusually wet weather. Large rocks can also roll down steep slopes and present a great danger to people and property.

Topography
The topography of the land can tell you where water will drain during rain storms and snow melt conditions. When property owners fill in washes, the natural drainage may be rerouted toward your house or your neighbor’s.

Flash Floods
Flash floods can occur, especially during spring run-off or summer thunderstorms, and they can turn a dry wash into a river. It would be wise to obtain a floodplain map from Apache County Planning and Zoning Department before deciding where to build your home. The County does not provide equipment or labor to protect private property from flooding.

Wildlife
Nature provides us with some wonderful neighbors. Most, such as deer, elk and eagles are positive additions. However, even "harmless" animals can cross the road unexpectedly and cause serious traffic accidents. If you do not handle your pets and trash properly, they could cause problems for you and the wildlife that lives around you. Rural development encroaches on the traditional habitat of coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, prairie dogs, bears, mosquitoes and other animals that can be dangerous to humans. Generally speaking, it is best to enjoy wildlife from a distance. Arizona Game and Fish offers many free publications on living with wildlife.

AGRICULTURE
Owning rural land means knowing how to care for it and what to expect. Here are a few things you need to know about animals and agriculture.

Agricultural or livestock businesses
If you anticipate operating an agricultural or livestock business be sure to research water rights associated with your land. Obtain accurate information on the quantity of water needed for your desired use. Because the flow rates in an arid climate are unpredictable, there is no guarantee sufficient water will be available at any given time.

Noxious Weeds
Before buying land, you should know if there are noxious weeds on the property that may be poisonous to horses and other livestock and expensive to control. In some cases, you may be required to eliminate them.

Animals
Animals can be dangerous and some livestock have been known to attack humans. Teach your children that it is not always safe to enter animal pens.

The Rural "Aroma"
Many people who live in rural areas keep livestock on their land. The Apache County Health Services enforces regulations for the collection and disposal of manure, but objectionable odors may still be present. Living in rural areas means living with the smells inherent in rural life. Development of new residential areas is not grounds for shutting down existing permitted agricultural uses.

ARIZONA’S OPEN RANGE LAW
Arizona has an open range law. This means that if you do not want cattle, sheep or other livestock on your property, it is your responsibility to fence them out. It is not the responsibility of the rancher to keep his/her livestock off your property. Also, if your dog harasses livestock, the rancher may legally shoot the dog without prior notice to you.

IN CONCLUSION
Even though you pay property taxes to the County, the amount of tax collected does not cover the cost of services provided to rural residents.
Since the rural west will not change immediately to accommodate your lifestyle or expectations, you should be prepared to adapt accordingly. You are encouraged to be vigilant in exploring and thoroughly examining any issues related to a rural existence that could affect your decision to relocate to this area. The information presented in the Code of the West is not intended to discourage you, only to give you a true and accurate picture of rural living in Apache County, Arizona.
