What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a group of homes or businesses that are not part of an official city or town. They do not have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the local services for these areas are usually provided by the county government.

Why are Some Places Unincorporated?

Many unincorporated communities started as small settlements. They might have been farming areas or places near a specific industry. They often stay unincorporated because they are very small. They might not have enough people to form their own city government.

People living in Sabino, like other unincorporated areas, get their services from Quitman County. This includes things like road maintenance, law enforcement, and sometimes even fire protection. They pay county taxes, not city taxes.
