County accepts San Tan Valley incorporation petitions
by Jake Kincaid | San Tan Sentinel
Pinal County has accepted incorporation petitions for San Tan Valley despite opposition from a home developer that may derail the effort.
State statute says that “declarant communities” must give permission for an area to incorporate, which Shea homes denied to San Tan Valley. But the Pinal County Board of Supervisors decided it will still accept the petition signatures for the incorporation effort.
Supervisor Steve Miller said that the issue of declarant permission was separate, and that the county would continue to follow the procedures set out in statute for verifying the signatures and possibly putting the incorporation on the ballot.
