Buying land or planning a custom home?

Tim can walk a lot with you and tell you plainly what you can build on it. Ironwood builds custom homes, casitas and RV garages across the East Valley.

About these listings

The lot is the biggest decision in a custom home, and what happens next door matters as much as the lot. We read the public planning records in the cities we build in and pull out the cases that change what you can build, or what you will be living next to.

Each summary links to the city or town record it came from. Before anything appears here, we confirm that every number, date, zoning code and name in the summary appears on that linked record. If a detail cannot be found there, the item stays off this page. Records last checked October 28, 2026.

These summaries come from public records published by each city and town. Ironwood Residential Builders is not involved in these projects and is not affiliated with any applicant or builder named. Plans change at every hearing, so always check the linked source record for the current status.
