Santa Cruz County Warns Residents of Email Payment Scam
Santa Cruz County, AZ -Santa Cruz County officials are alerting residents to a scam involving fraudulent emails that appear to come from County departments and request payment. Santa Cruz County has documented one fraudulent event and will work with the Arizona Attorney General's office on any investigation.
If you receive an email requesting payment from any Santa Cruz County department, you may verify its legitimacy by calling the County and confirming directly with the department before making any payment. Santa Cruz County will never request payment through email links or wire transfers. If you have confirmed with the County that it is fraudulent, please report it to the Arizona Attorney General's Office.
Identifying and Reporting Fraudulent Emails
Scam emails may look official and use department names, logos, or urgent language to pressure you to act quickly. Always check the sender’s email address, as fraudulent messages often come from addresses that do not match official Santa Cruz County domains.
If you receive a suspicious email:
- Do not click on any links.
- Do not provide personal or financial information.
- Do not send payments by wire transfer.
- Contact Santa Cruz County and confirm the request with the relevant department before responding.

THE HISTORIC VALLE VERDE RANCH
The Hidden Gem of Tubac
The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.
The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.
For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."

A new trader joe's is in the plans for the university area.
A new Trader Joe's is coming to Tucson, right next to the University of Arizona.
The new Trader Joe's will take over a vacant building that formerly housed a Dollar Tree at the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue.
It's been in the works for several years, according to the Arizona Daily Star. Construction plans were initially submitted in 2023, but the official confirmation only came on Feb. 12, when the California-based grocer announced it would be opening six new stores across the country.
The store will open sometime in 2026, according to Trader Joe's website. It will be the fourth location in Tucson.
