We've had multiple properties over the years and have dealt with Maricopa County (B - good), Coconino County - Flagstaff (F - poor and utterly arrogant .. they are doing you a favor), and San Diego County (C - Nice but under-staffed, not all knowledgeable.) Pinal is the hands down winner. They deserve the JD Power & Associates award.

I don't know much about the Town of Florence, but as an out-of-towner, I do know that it's…read morein-between the 2 major cities of Phoenix and Tucson. It's a secluded area that is definitely up and coming. New homes are popping up everywhere, and Florence has a bunch being built right now by numerous home builders. There isn't much out this way that I know of except a few restaurants, some gas stations and car washes. I hear the prisons in the area once used to be in full swing, but now they are supposedly closing down. Not 100% sure on that, but I'd imagine if they are doing it, they'll be building new homes on that land. There's so much flat land out here, it's really peaceful compared to the busier surrounding cities. You'll need to hit up the Queen Creek area which is a half hour north. That's a bustling area with shops and restaurants, and Costco with a gas station. I think it'll take a few years before this town gets to that level. They don't even have a Target or Walmart here! The closest Walmart I know of is in Coolidge about15-20 minutes away. I guess I'll see what the future has in store for Florence. Right now, it's a quiet area that many young families and professionals are settling into. You might want to check it out if you're interested in buying a home. There's so many popping up, and the newer neighborhoods look really nice!

I live in Florence, but not in the old town. I'm out in Anthem a few miles west of downtown. So…read morewhat's it like in Florence? Well the primary industry are the prisons. There are 11 jails and prisons in Florence, including the Arizona Department of Corrections in addition to multiple privately run prisons. So sightseeing isn't really a big draw here. There are a handful of restaurants, including a Sonic, Burger King, Taco Bell and McDonald's as well as a few non-chain Mexican and Chinese places. Old town Florence has been trying to revive and reimagine itself for the last few decades but nothing much has really taken hold. There is a bit of surrounding farmland, and Country Thunder lands here every February which is really the biggest attraction going in these parts. There are a few wineries and a Saint Anthony's Greek Orthodox monastery you can tour. It is really beautiful out here though, and the pace is slower than in Tucson or Phoenix, so there are a lot of retirees out here. Personally I like it, but I'm not much of a nightlife person. It's also a lot more affordable out here, but still close enough to Mesa or Queen Creek to get into the Big City if that's something you need to do.

They were very nice and efficient with my time when I went in the register my new golf cart a few…read moreweeks ago. Unfortunately they never asked me what size plates I needed and I didn't know they had different sizes for golf carts. When the plates arrived they were motorcycle size plates that don't fit the bracket on my golf cart. When I called about getting the large size plates they said I would have to drive back to the office and pay them again to have the correct size plates. They said whoever helped me should have asked and that most golf carts use the smaller plate. They were sorry I got the wrong size but would have to pay again to get the correct size. Make sure you know the size plates you need and that they order the correct size or it will cost you extra to correct the problem.
