TIRED OF BEING HARASSED BY PIMA COUNTY???
HERE ARE SOME FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
THE CR-1 ZONING IN DIAMOND BELL RANCH IS NULL AND VOID ACCORDING TO ARIZONA STATE LAW.
The original developer, Mort Freedman, had 5 years to install the necessary infrastructure for the CR-1 zoning. This was in the 1970’s. That infrastructure (water and power) never happened. Therefore, according to Arizona State Law, the land must be reverted back to its original RURAL ZONING.
THE $8,500 IMPACT FEE IS ILLEGAL SAYS THE SUPREME COURT AND PIMA COUNTY’S BY-LAWS.
A government can only charge an Impact Fee if there is an actual infrastructure project in the works, and they have to show how your money is being used for that project. This was determined 20 YEARS AGO by the Supreme Court when California was charging a $600 smog impact fee to anyone bringing in a car from another state. The Supreme Court knocked it down, and California had to reimburse millions of people their $600.
The Pima County by-laws for the Office of Environmental Extortion state THE EXACT SAME THING about impact fees. According to their own rules they can not charge an impact fee without an actual infrastructure project.
For us off-grid property owners in Diamond Bell Ranch the county provides us with NOTHING. We have no running water, no sewer, no electricity, and if we call about road maintenance we get laughed at, and (NO JOKE) told to contact Mort Freedman about it.
THE COUNTY CAN NOT SUMMON YOU TO COURT WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL “PROCESS OF SERVICE” BY A SHERIFF, COURIER, OR LETTER OF CERTIFIED MAIL.
If you get hit with a fine, and the County states that you “Failed to Appear” for a hearing that you never knew about, then they are BREAKING THE LAW. Any summons to appear in court must be handed to you in person by a Sheriff or an Official Courier. If the notice is mailed then it must be sent Certified Mail. The Court can not proceed with the case without proof that the Defendant has been notified.
If the County hits you with this B.S. call The Clerk of Court and demand a copy of the Official Summons. They won’t be able to provide you with anything because the summons doesn’t exist.
If you’re having issues with the County please contact us immediately, and come to our Sunday night meetings.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS 🇺🇸
The County relies on us not knowing our rights, not knowing the laws, and just bending over and taking it without putting up a fight.
No More.
We have rights, and we know the zoning laws better than they do! RESIST. Stand your ground. It’s your ground you own it. Nobody else is going to fight for your right to do what you want on it.

WE WROTE A LETTER TO THE ARIZONA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
To whom it may concern:
My name is Sandra Tracy. I am a resident/property owner in Diamond Bell Ranch, a subdivision approximately ten miles south of Three Points, in Pima County, AZ.
I am writing on behalf of the Diamond Bell Ranch Property Owner’s Alliance, which is an informal group of landowners who are finding that our land is uninhabitable, due to restrictive CR-1 zoning. This is an area with no infrastructure. We have no paved roads, no power, water, or municipal sewage. CR-1 zoning standards require homes that we do not have the infrastructure to support…
