Welcome from
Mayor Tom Armstrong
Greetings! As Mayor of the Town of Chino Valley, it is my pleasure to extend a warm greeting and welcome to all newcomers, both to Chino Valley and our amazing Central Arizona Highlands region.
Our town offers a unique blend of rich history, culture and a sense of community, all set against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes, open spaces and dark skies. Whether you’re here for new opportunities, to raise a family, to enjoy a fresh start, or retirement bliss, you’ll find that our town is filled with friendly faces and supportive neighbors. We pride ourselves on fostering a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive. Our rural community has four beautiful distinct seasons and has a truly hometown feel.
Chino Valley is a town that is growing, with the goal to maintain our rural heritage and culture and an aim to grow and sustain our small businesses, attract additional retail and restaurants, and improve our infrastructure. Our town is incredibly supportive of our new residents, as well as economic development initiatives and promotes a business-friendly environment.
An interesting historical fact about Chino Valley is that it was founded in 1864, was later incorporated in 1970, and is the first Territorial Capital of Arizona. This is a remarkable story as to how that occurred, as the founders were looking for a mountain that looked like a thumb in Prescott (Thumb Butte) and stumbled upon one in Chino Valley instead.
I encourage you to explore the local attractions that reflect our agricultural roots, participate in community events that celebrate our heritage, and make the most of the stunning parks and recreational areas that surround us. From hiking trails, equestrian and rodeo events, youth sports and farmers markets, Chino Valley offers a lifestyle rich in connection to nature and community. Accessibility and major amenities are a short drive from Chino Valley making it easy for you to settle in and enjoy everything our quiet community has to offer.
Welcome to our beautiful Central Arizona Highlands, and special thanks for your time here from the Town of Chino Valley and its Mayor.
Mayor Tom Armstrong, Chino Valley Mayor

HIKING
Chino Valley Peavine Trail
This broad trail runs for just over 5 miles between Road 4 South and Road 4 North on the eastern side of the Town, using a segment of the abandoned railroad easement that also forms the 6-mile base of the Prescott Peavine National Recreational Trail through the Granite Dells and onto the high grasslands of that city.
Historical markers and interpretive signs line the trail. Local leaders are working to secure the 6 miles of railbed between the two segments.
OFF-ROADING
Chino Valley has become a hub for off-highway exploration largely due to being perched at the western end of Perkinsville Road, a popular route to Jerome and the historic Perkinsville area. OHV trails thread through the forests and prairies surrounding the town, including the Smiley Rock trail branching off Perkinsville and the Alto Pit OHV area closer to Prescott.
PRESCOTT NATIONAL FOREST www.fs.usda.gov/prescott
The U.S. Forest Service oversees and maintains close to a million acres surrounding the Prescott area, including most of its iconic peaks — Granite Mountain, Thumb Butte, Mingus Mountain and the rest of the spectacular Bradshaws and Sierra Prietas.
The opportunities to experience nature within its borders are endless, with trails, campgrounds and dispersed camping, day-use areas and primitive wilderness areas to choose from. It’s a playground for anyone who likes to walk, hike, mountain bike, ride horses, off-road, climb rocks, fish, kayak, watch birds and other wildlife, geocache, forage or do almost anything else — some activities require permits or fees.
Special places with memories to be made can be found around every rock, tree or cactus under the rich diversity of vistas provided by these areas.

A SMALL BUSINESS POWERHOUSE
Chino Valley is proud of its economy based on small business and entrepreneurial ingenuity. Forty-three percent of its employers have one to four employees.
AZ-89 is lined with restaurants, shops, medical and veterinary practices, farm and pet supply stores, auto repair shops, banks and other enterprises that show the face of an industrious community. Construction jobs are plentiful as the community expands.
Chino Valley is growing and welcomes new, expanding and relocating firms. The Town and its economic development department offer services and advantages like incentives, assistance with site selection, a business support center and affordable and available land, along with no impact fees or municipal property taxes.
Looking to the future, the Town is pursuing development of a business park and other uses on portions of the Old Home Manor property not set aside as open space and encouraging entrepreneurial development in spaces like incubators and farmers markets.
Officials also aim to expand the community’s tourism industry, improve the AZ-89 streetscape and develop an online inventory of all available commercial land properties within the town limits.

LOW COST OF DOING BUSINESS
Arizona offers one of the lowest costs of doing business in the United States, primarily because of low taxes and small state government. While the national average of percapita income going to taxes is 9.9%, here the number is 8.4%.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY
Considering the size of the population, the state government is small. Arizona has the country’s second-lowest number of state and local government employees per 10,000 residents, according to the 2022 edition of the Rich States, Poor States study by the American Legislative Exchange Council. The same survey ranks Arizona No. 1 for business performance and No. 3 for business outlook.
In addition, Arizona’s taxes on property and business income remain low compared to the rest of the country and are dropping further for personal income for the 2022 tax year, as noted by the Tax Institute in its 2022 report.
Property taxes are the 11th lowest in the U.S., and unemployment insurance tax is also the 11th lowest. Average costs for workers compensation are another advantage, with Arizona ranked 8th lowest nationwide.

CHOOSE
YOUR OWN STORY
Chino Valley has a proud history as Arizona’s very first territorial capital and a longtime farming and ranching hub, but it’s also the perfect place for you to chart your own course in a town that won’t fence you in.
Shopping
You’ll find a gobsmacking range of locally owned boutiques, antique shops and gift shops for such a small town, including quite a few that blur the lines between the three. There’s a jeweler, a bookstore, a couple floral shops and a sewing supply store, plus a few bigger shopping opportunities like Safeway and Walgreens.
Dining
Foodies will do fine here with firstrate choices all around — farm-totable, barbecue, Mexican, Italian and coffee shops. Chino Valley has both a vineyard and a craft brewery, and both are don’t-misses!
Arts and Entertainment
The Chino Valley Public Library offers cultural materials and events to patrons and the community, and a local repertory group has produced several plays for enjoyment and education. There are more opportunities throughout Greater Prescott.
Day Trips
If and when you’re done exploring the Chino Valley area there are plenty of communities in Arizona’s Central Highlands and beyond just a car trip away that are so enchanting you can easily spend more than a day’s adventures in any of them!
Our rural community enjoys four beautiful, distinct seasons and a true hometown feel. The beauty of Chino Valley lies in its wide-open spaces, big blue skies and a culture defined by friendly people, unique dining and outdoor adventure.

Yavapai Humane Society Welcomes You and your Furry Family Members to Prescott!
Welcome to Prescott, a picturesque haven nestled in the heart of Arizona’s high country, where the charming blend of history, nature and warm hospitality beckons both twolegged and four-legged visitors alike.
Whether you’re a new resident or a potential resident, Prescott opens its arms to you and your furry companions, inviting you to explore its vibrant community, stunning landscapes and dog-friendly delights. From scenic trails to pet-friendly patios, this city offers a wealth of experiences that make it a paw-sitively perfect destination for dog lovers and adventurers alike.
So, leash up your best friend and embark on an unforgettable journey through Prescott’s welcoming streets, where the joy of adventure knows no bounds.
Prior to heading out on any outings with your furry companion, though, make sure your veterinarian has given your pup a clean bill of health. This will help prevent injuries and any potential exercise-related problems.
Prescott boasts an elevation exceeding 5,000 feet, and just as it takes us humans some time to acclimate, your dog also will need an adjustment period. We are also surrounded by Prescott National Forest, so be aware of the different wildlife that inhabit our area and sometimes venture into neighborhoods.
Additionally, our region experiences extreme weather conditions, including scorching summers and snowy winters. Be
sure to check the temperature and weather forecast before venturing out, and keep in mind that the weather can change quite suddenly, so keep an eye on the sky!
Carrying your cellphone is advisable in case you encounter any unforeseen challenges during your outing.
Giving your furry friend the right dose of physical fun is a key ingredient in keeping their muscles and joints in tip-top shape, maintaining a healthy weight and letting out all that pent-up energy.
Start the adventure with a leisurely neighborhood walk, and then level up to longer, more exciting hikes. Just like us humans, you wouldn’t want to leap straight into a 3-mile hike without a warmup. So, amp up your daily walks bit by bit, and toss in a hill or two for that extra zest and zing!
When you’re ready to hit one of our many pet-friendly trails, we suggest the Watson Woods Trail that starts at Rosser Street and goes to Watson Lake. It’s a nice 3½ mile roundtrip hike that is pretty flat and a good starting point for beginners.
From there, you can venture out to other trails and eventually to some that challenge you both a bit more. Lynx Lake Loop is a beautiful 2½ mile hike that is relatively easy. The Constellation Loop comes in at about the same length and also is easy but often quite busy. Goldwater Lakes Trail No. 396 is an 8-mile hike out and
back, which has nice benches along the way to take a break when needed.
Remember to bring potty bags, water for both of you, and be sure to keep an eye on your dog(s) to make sure they are not becoming overheated or exhausted. And remember that while it’s tempting to let your dog off its leash, it is Arizona law that your dog remains on a leash that is a maximum of 6-feet long. This is for the safety of not only your dog, but others you may come across.
Having an adventure with your dog in Prescott is a win-win! You both soak up the beauty, get exercise and strengthen your bond. Plus, it’s a paw-some chance to mingle with other pups and peeps!
So, grab that leash and your playful pooch and hit the trail for an awesome time together! It’ll put smiles on both your faces!
