ARIZONA CASITA BUILDERS · PARADISE VALLEY
Casita planning
in Paradise Valley.
A Paradise Valley casita deserves the same attention to proportion, materials and privacy as the main home. Arizona Casita Builders develops a guest retreat around the way your family and visitors will use it, with careful attention to the spaces between buildings. We review the parcel, proposed use and existing improvements early, then coordinate the plan, exterior character and submission requirements around the Town’s property-specific review process.

A FEW USEFUL STARTING QUESTIONS
Before you
choose a plan.
Use these questions to prepare for a discussion with ACB and the agency that reviews your property.
See how we buildDoes every Paradise Valley proposal need the same planning application?+
No. The Town’s planning portal identifies different circumstances for pre-application review, including requests for zoning relief and certain other approvals. We establish the appropriate route for the property and scope before submitting.
Where can we research guest-house and accessory-structure questions?+
The Town publishes official written zoning interpretations, including accessory-structure area and cluster-plan guest houses. These are useful references, but the Town’s staff should confirm how the rules apply to your parcel.
Can I customize an ACB concept for my Paradise Valley property?+
Yes. Our original layouts are starting points for a property-specific design. We review the footprint, orientation, privacy, utility connections and desired finishes with you before developing the final scope.
