Pinal County, Arizona
Pinal County · Florence, Arizona, is the seat · not Florence, Alabama · not Florence, Italy · Casa Grande is larger · Casa Grande is not the county government · Phoenix is the capital
Florence, Arizona, is the hall. Casa Grande is larger. This is not Florence, Alabama. This is not Maricopa County.
Pinal County, Arizona, sits between Phoenix and Tucson. Florence, Arizona, is the seat. Casa Grande is a large city — it is not the hall. San Tan Valley is not the hall. Apache Junction is in this county. Apache Junction is not Apache County (St. Johns). The city of Maricopa is in this county. The city of Maricopa is not Maricopa County (Phoenix). This is not Florence, Alabama (Lauderdale). This is not Florence, Italy. Phoenix is the capital of Arizona. It does not sit here. A red-brick clock tower is this hall. A state prison is ADC. Those are not the same door.
Places include Florence, Casa Grande, Apache Junction, Eloy, Coolidge, Superior, Mammoth, Kearny, the city of Maricopa, San Tan Valley, Oracle, and unincorporated Gold Canyon / Arizona Farms remainder. 2020 census: 425,264. This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — interior-valley remainder patrol and Adult Detention at Jason Lopez Circle — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Pinal County.
Five Supervisors at 135 North Pinal. They do not sit in Casa Grande as this county.
Pinal is a five-member Board of Supervisors elected from single-member districts. Meetings list at 135 North Pinal Street, Florence (Historic Courthouse administrative complex). There is no County Executive. They fund roads, Building A courts, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Casa Grande City Council is a city body. Apache Junction City Council is a city body. The City of Maricopa is a city. Maricopa County’s Board sits in Phoenix — a different county.
The Sheriff is four years, Article 12 § 3, last regular 5 November 2024, next regular 7 November 2028. Not 2026. The Mayor of Florence is a city clock. The Governor in Phoenix is a state clock.
Apache Junction is here. The city of Maricopa is here. Phoenix is still the capital.
I-10, I-8, U.S. 60, and State Route 79 (the Florence Highway) are the through roads. Maricopa County sits northwest. Pima sits south. Gila sits northeast. Graham sits east. Gila River Indian Community overlaps this map in fact. Staff who paste a Phoenix skyline onto Pinal Street, or treat Casa Grande as this hall, or file “Florence, Alabama,” or file “the city of Maricopa is Maricopa County,” are on the wrong county. Phoenix remains the capital.
How a Florence public finds the Pinal desk
Board of Supervisors: 135 North Pinal Street, Florence, AZ 85132. Recorder: 31 North Pinal Street, Building E. Superior Court / Clerk: 971 Jason Lopez Circle, Building A. Sheriff / Adult Detention: 971 Jason Lopez Circle. Field recorder and court windows also list in Apache Junction, Casa Grande, San Tan Valley, and the city of Maricopa — those are satellites, not a second county. Confirm live addresses on pinal.gov. A student who only knows a Phoenix photograph, or an Alabama rumor, has not found Florence, Arizona.
971 Jason Lopez still jails. ADC Eyman is not this jailer. Florence West is not this jailer.
Crime in unincorporated Pinal — San Tan remainder, Gold Canyon remainder, I-10 frontage outside city limits — is this Sheriff. Crime in Casa Grande is often Casa Grande Police. Crime in Apache Junction is often Apache Junction Police. Pinal County Adult Detention at 971 Jason Lopez Circle is this Sheriff’s house — third-largest county jail in Arizona, rated about 1,503. A.R.S. § 11-441(A)(5) still puts the jail on this Sheriff. It is not a Warden-department split. ASPC-Eyman, remaining ASPC-Florence functions, and Florence West are ADC or ADC contractors. Do not paste those houses onto Jason Lopez Circle. DPS is the state. Civil process and court security at Building A are the Sheriff. Rights do not change at the prison-town line. Remedy for Casa Grande Police is the City. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when a monsoon fills the Gila is this count first.
Care without inventing a state-prison chapel as this county
A peace order served in San Tan remainder. A transport from detention to Building A without becoming Florence Police. Do not invent a church. Do not invent a prison tour as this badge.
What Pinal actually watches
Court calendar in Building A. A wreck on I-10. Heat on U.S. 60. A monsoon wash on a San Tan two-lane. Coordination with Casa Grande Police, Apache Junction Police, and DPS without becoming those departments. Coordination with Maricopa County’s Sheriff is mutual aid between two county offices. A Phoenix photograph does not steal the seat. An Alabama rumor does not steal the seat. Phoenix remains the capital. Florence, Arizona, remains the seat.
