Tucsonans take a relaxed approach to dress and casual clothing is acceptable for most occasions. Summer wear includes wide-brim hats, sunglasses and lightweight fabrics. In the warmer months, indoor air conditioning can get chilly for some so be prepared with a lightweight jacket or sweater. Sunscreen to protect the skin is recommended year-round. In the winter, a lightweight coat or jacket will usually suffice unless you’re planning to visit higher mountain areas where colder temps and snow are possible.
The Sonoran Desert is a fragile ecosystem teeming with a variety of plant and animal species that depend on each other for survival; and law protects many of them. Please leave the desert as you find it. Purchase cactus and other native plants at Tucson’s established desert gardens or cactus nurseries.

This park on Tucson’s northwest side is a very civilized piece of the Sonoran desert in the city, with a wide variety of desert plants around pleasant trails, which lead visitors to a gift shop and a shaded tea room serving delicious scones for tea time. Regular “Walk in the Park” tours provide an educational experience about the park’s fauna and flora. dmission
Located about 12 miles north of the city on Arizona Highway 77 (Oracle Road), this park affords the best views of the canyons and domes of the Catalina Mountains. A multitude of birds, snakes and lizards inhabit the lower regions, while deer and big horn sheep roam the high country. The park offers an interpretive trail of an ancient Hohokam village. Picnicking and camping are available. Admission is USD 5 per car for day use payable at the ranger station, self-pay after dark. Credit cards are accepted at the gift shop.
This is a major Tucson tourist attraction, and not just for plant lovers. Apart from a rich collection of cactus and desert wildflowers, the gardens offer an educational walk around the history of the native Tohono O’odham Indians and the efforts of local scientists to preserve native seeds. Don’t miss the wonderful Nuestro Jardin, the traditional Mexican-American neighborhood garden, or the shaded restaurant patio.
This world-famous museum is rather a zoo displaying the creatures of the surrounding desert in their natural habitats. Located in the middle of the Sonoran desert about an half-hour drive from the city center, it also provides breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The gift shop has an excellent selection of Sonoran desert souvenirs. This is a must for any visitor staying in Tucson for more than just one day. Group rates are available.

Of all the natural attractions in and around Tucson, Sabino Canyon is certainly the most popular. This large chasm in the Santa Catalina Mountains is where ancient Hohokam people built irrigation dams while mammoths roamed the ground. Access is free but there is a charge for parking. High-lights are swimming (conditions allowing) in clear pools after a six-mile hike to Seven Falls and summer evening shuttle rides by pre-paid reservations.

See Tucson from a birds-eye view. Take Catalina Highway 30 miles through the Coronado National Forest where giant Saguaro cacti tower and a variety of desert vegetation blooms year around. Stop at the Seven Cataracts and Windy Pointe Vista for scenic views of untamed mountain landscape surrounding the distant lights of Tucson. Visit Ski Valley and lunch at the Iron Door. The lift operates year-round offering visitors a ride to the sky. Follow signs to Summerhaven, and browse the rustic shops or book a cozy Mount Lemmon cabin. Make a day of it!
Southern Arizona’s clear skies are ideal to host the world’s largest observatory. Located 56 miles southwest of Tucson on top of a rugged mountain range, Kitt Peak features the world’s largest collection of telescopes and frequently contributes to important astronomical discoveries. The observatory is open to the public, and there is no charge for admission, although a 2 donation is requested for the guided ates for nighttime public observing programs (reservations required) 318.8739
This attraction is to Tucson what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, except it’s more ancient. Founded in 1700 by the Spanish missionary Father Kino, 10 miles south of what is now downtown Tucson on the Tohono O’odham Indian reservation. San Xavier del Bac is considered one of the finest examples of Mexican folk baroque architecture. Indian crafts, shops and a cafe are nearby. The parish is still active so please be respectful of religious activities when visiting.
Designated in 1994 and bookending Tucson from two sides, Saguaro National Park gives protection to native animals and plants, most prominently the stately Saguaro cactus—a well-known icon of the Arizonan and Mexican deserts. Both locations have loop roads for driving and cycling, visitor’s centers, bookstores, hiking trails, picnic areas and exhibit centers. The Westside park also has a remarkable ancient petroglyph site. Rangers offer special interpretative hikes on request. There is no admission fee for the Westside; however, charges
The Tucson Arts District Partnership is working to transform the formerly distressed Tucson downtown area into a cultural hub. This non-profit organization has helped local artists find studio space downtown and restored dilapidated
historic buildings, thereby transforming the streets around Congress into attractions for visitors from out of town. Staff members also organize studio tours and art walks during fall, winter and spring, as well as the popular Downtown Saturday Night festival. Call the TADP office for art walk and tour schedules. Most tours are free. 624 9977

There is an intriguing legend behind this shrine on Main Street near the old historic barrio, a story involving broken hearts and crimes of passion, but you’ll have to read the plaque mounted on it to discover the tale. El Tiradito has been part of local folklore for a long time and is now a national historic site. Take a peek and make your own wish.
While not being in the major league of zoos, this is still one of the major attractions in the city. Due to its relatively small size, the zoo can be explored at a leisurely pace in less than two hours. The animals are on display in pleasant natural settings.
Founded in 1924 and located in the historic El Presidio District, The Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block maintains permanent collections of more than 6,000 works of art. In addition, the Museum presents visiting exhibitions of works in all media. Exhibitons are organized by the Museum and traveling exhibitions are organized by other institutions. The historic block features five distinctive houses built between 1850 and 1907.

St. Augustine Cathedral is located in downtown Tucson on Stone Avenue.
It is a magnificent sandstone facade structure built in the 1800s. The style is modeled after the cathedral of Queretaro in Mexico, carved with images of yucca, horned toad lizards and saguaro cacti. The exterior is crafted with a bandstand of more than three hundred flowers with a thousand leaves, branches and made purely of steal, incredible craftsmanship.
The interior is also eye catching but with a modest tone meant to Reverence God. It is the oldest Cathedral in Town and the mother church of the Roman Catholic Church in Tucson.
Patrons of the arts, demanding a proper environment for classical concerts in Tucson helped raise most of the money necessary to build this imposing concert hall in 1927. The main building is home to a 600-seat theater, mainly used by the Arizona Theatre Company. There is a small art gallery on the
a nice cafe, with a cabaret theater right above it, while the north wing holds a gift shop offering theatrical and musical souvenirs. Free backstage tours are given every Saturday at 11:30am, October through April.
This is a place not to be missed when sightseeing in downtown Tucson. The old adobe structure in the historic Presidio district invites visitors to explore its shops, galleries and restaurants or to just sit and relax in the wonderful courtyard shaded by palm trees. It’s a kind of art shopping center catering to tourists eagerly looking for souvenirs from the Southwest; in fact, it offers everything from Navajo rugs to dried prickly pear jam. There is no admission fee. All stores and restaurants accept major credit cards.

As of July 17, 1994, the Homestead Exemption is automatic in Arizona; you do not need to file for it. Only one exemption may be claimed per individual claimant or married couple. The homestead exemption allows any resident of Arizona, 18 years of age or older, to exempt from attachment, execution or forced sale $150,000 of equity in a single dwelling unit. In other words, if someone wins a suit or judgment against you, $150,000 of equity in your home can’t be touched. Exceptions include (1) process and sale of a consensual lien, i.e. where a deed of trust or equity loan is foreclosed; (2) a forced sale resulting from a mechanic’s lien, and (3) any equity beyond the $150,000.
Note: This explanation is a summary of the Arizona homestead property exemption statutes. You should consult with an attorney to determine if this exemption offers you protection in the event of an attachment, execution or forced sale

FROM A PROFESSIONAL REALTOR ®
Congratulations on your decision to buy a home!
It’s a challenging project and there are many ways a professional can help. Here are some of the many ways you may benefit from working with a Realtor®:
IT WON’T COST YOU A PENNY!
The Realtor® who helps you buy a home is traditionally paid by the Seller.
M A N Y MORE HOME CHOICES
Your Realtor® has thousands of homes to choose from through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), so you’re more likely to find the home that’s just right for you and find it quicker. In fact, a majority of the homes for sale are listed by Realtors® and aren’t available to you unless you are working with a Realtor.®
A NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS “FALL OU T ”
Unfortunately, it’s true. Some transactions fall apart before closing. An experienced Realtor® may be able to resolve problems and see your transaction through to a successful closing.
KNOWLEDGE OF NEW HOME SUBDIVISIONS
New home subdivisions will welcome you and your Realtor.® If you’re interested in buying a new home, take your agent with you on your first visit to each subdivision. Your professional Realtor® is an important source of information who can supply background on the builder, nearby subdivisions, and the local community.
IT’S A MAJOR INVESTMEN T
You use a professional for your legal, financial and health needs. Why gamble on what may be your biggest investment without a professional at your side?
HE LP WITH FSBO’S
If you consider a “For Sale By Owner,” take your Realtor® along to help negotiate the contract. The owner may not only agree to your terms, but also agree to pay the agent’s commission.
LESS LIABILIT Y
You will have more protection from legal and financial liability, especially as real estate transactions become more complicated.
T H E PAPERWORK
Your experienced Realtor® will negotiate and prepare the purchase contract for you and assist you throughout the escrow process.

WHAT IS AN ESCROW? An escrow is a process wherein the Buyer and Seller deposit written instructions, documents, and funds with a neutral third party until certain conditions are fulfilled. In a real estate transaction, the Buyer does not pay the Seller directly for the property. The Buyer gives the funds to an escrow company who, acting as an intermediary, verifies that title to the property is clear and all written instructions in the contract have been met. Then the company transfers the ownership of the property to the Buyer through recordation and pays the Seller. This process protects all parties involved.
The State of Arizona licenses and regulates all escrow companies. The Insurance Commissioner and the State Banking Department can inspect a company’s records at any time, providing further oversight of the company’s management and position as an impartial third party to the transaction.
In Arizona, escrow services are generally provided by a title insurance company instead of an attorney. The stability, reliability and performance of your title and escrow company are vital to protect the interests of all parties to the transaction.
OPEN escrow and deposit Buyer s “good faith” funds in a separate escrow account.
CONDUCT a title search to determine ownership and status of the subject property.
ISSUE a title commitment and begin the process to delete or record items to provide clear title to the property.
Per contract, CONFIRM that the lender has determined the Buyer, is qualified for a new loan.
HOW
Once the completed contract (or Purchase Agreement) is fully signed and executed and the Seller has accepted the offer, the Buyer's Agent will open the escrow. The earnest money deposit and the contract are placed in escrow. As a neutral party to the transaction, Title Security can respond only to those written instructions agreed to mutually by all “interested” parties (Seller and Buyer); Title Security cannot otherwise alter the contract or create instructions and that protects all interested parties.
ASK you to complete a beneficiary’s statement if you are assuming the Seller’s loan.
MEET all deadlines as specified in the contract.
REQUEST payoff information for the Seller’s loan s , other liens, homeowners association fees, etc.
PRORATE fees, such as property taxes, per the contract, and prepare the settlement statement.
HOW
The Buyer should inform the escrow officer and lender as soon as possible of how they wish to hold title of their home and exactly how their name(s) will appear on all documents. This allows the lender and title company to prepare all documents correctly. (Changes later, such as adding or deleting an initial in your name can delay your closing.) Buyers may wish to consult an attorney, accountant or other professional before deciding how to hold title.
SET separate appointments: Seller will sign documents; will sign documents and deposit funds.
REVIEW documents ensuring all conditions and requirements are fulfilled; request funds from lender.
When all funds are deposited, RECORD documents at the County Recorder to transfer the subject property from the Seller to the Buyer.
WHAT
? During the escrow period, our title department begins researching and examining all historical records pertaining to the subject property. Barring any unusual circumstances, a commitment for title insurance is issued, indicating a clear title or listing any items which must be cleared prior to closing. The commitment is sent to for review.
escrow officer follows instructions on contract, coordinates deadlines and gathers all necessary paperwork. For example, written requests for payoff information (called “demands”) are sent to the Seller’s mortgage company and any other lien holders.
After recordation is confirmed, CLOSE escrow and disburse funds, including Seller’s proceeds, loan payoffs, Realtors®’ commissions, related fees for recording, etc.
PREPARE and send final documents to parties involved.
PARTIES
Any number of persons. (Can be married couple*)
DIVISION
Ownership can be divided into any number of interests, equal or unequal.
