Research Properties in Arizona!
The Maricopa and Pinal County websites contain an abundance of information that is very useful for both the home seller and buyer! There are links and instructions below on how to utilize these websites to their fullest!
Maricopa County Website Tips: Click the link below and a new window will open to initiate the Interactive Mapping function. Click on Parcel Maps, click Ok on the Disclaimer (it is for a script specific to their mapping website) and another window will open. This may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
At the right hand side in the search parameters, you type the house number and then the street. You can also search by Assessor Number, if known, as well as Street Intersection, Subdivision, etc. Click Search - the Assessor Number (ie 108-08-128), Owner Name and Address will be displayed, along with a map of where the home is located. If you click on Highlight Parcel, the lot will be highlighted on the map.
If you scroll down on the left side and click AERIAL PHOTOS 2007 check box and an aerial photo of the property will be displayed on the parcel. You can zoom in and out with the little magnifying glass icons at the top of the screen - similar to Mapquest. It's helpful to take out the parcel information for viewing the photos by deselecting lot information (the boxes under the heading Parcels on the left hand side) – however, it's a good idea to leave the Parcels box checked in order to see the lot lines. Also on the left side, you can select items to be displayed, such as: subdivision name subdivision boundaries, community features (libraries, fire stations, post offices...), schools, railroads, etc.
Pinal County Website Tips: Click the link below and a new window will open to initiate the parcel look-up at the Assessor website. When you inquire on a parcel, the parcel number will be shown and you can click on it to bring up the property information. You can also inquire by name, address, etc. Once you have displayed the property information, there is a link entitled View Parcel Map where you can click to see the plat map for that parcel.
Pinal County has taken steps to initiate GIS Interactive Mapping. When the window opens after clicking the Pinal County link below, highlight Divisions on the left site of the webpage and GIS is one of the selection options. This is where you will access the interactive mapping when Pinal County has enabled the functionality.

The state's principal crops are cotton, lettuce, cauliflowers, broccoli, and sorghum. Cattle, calves, and dairy goods are, however, the most valuable Arizona farm products. Manufacturing is the leading economic activity, with electronics, printing & publishing, processed foods, aerospace and transportation leading sectors. High-technology research and development, communications, and service industries are also important, as are construction (the state is rapidly growing) and tourism. Military facilities contributing to Arizona's economy include Fort Huachuca, Luke and Davis-Monthan Air Force Bases, and the Yuma Proving Grounds. Testing and training with military aircraft and desert storage of commercial and military planes are both major undertakings.
Arizona abounds in minerals. Copper is the state's most valuable mineral; Arizona leads the nation in production. Other leading resources are molybdenum, sand, gravel, and cement. 
Between 1940 and 1960, Arizona's population increased more than 100%, and since then growth has continued. By the 2000 census the cumulative increase since 1940 amounted to more than 1000%, and Arizona was ranked among the fastest growing states in the nation. The mountainous north, however, has not shared the population growth of the southern sections of the state. Over 80% of the people are Caucasian and nearly 20% are Hispanic.
