RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ANNEXATION

What Is Annexation?

Annexation is the process of adding your property to the fire district’s service area. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their property may not automatically be included, even if they live in Vail. Under Arizona law, property owners can choose to join their local fire district by paying district taxes.
Joining ensures access to vital emergency services including fire suppression and timely ambulance response, helping protect your home and family.
Depending on when your annexation is added to the tax rolls, it may take up to two years before you see any changes reflected on your property tax bill.
We’re happy to answer any questions about annexation.

Annexation Process

Step 1. Determine if your property is within the Rincon Valley Fire District Boundaries by calling our Admin office at 520-647-3760
Step 2. Sign a letter provided by our Admin team. This letter must be notarized either by one of our in-house notaries or a notary of your choice.
Step 3. Once the original notarized letter is received by our Admin team, our process begins. A resolution and supporting documents (such as a map and property description) will then be presented at the next scheduled Governing Board meeting. Upon approval, the annexation packet is forwarded to the 9-1-1 dispatch center and the Recorder’s Office.
