We have not yet collected septic documents from Santa Cruz County, Arizona, so for a Rio Rico property the county's own file is currently the only route. This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. The county is predominantly sewered: only 1,612 of 12,842 classified parcels are on septic. Septic properties near Rio Rico are the exception, which is exactly why owners often do not know they have one. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
