Stand with Rancho Almasomos

We need your support to realize the vision for the ranch

Ever since founder Kat Massey purchased this property in 2021, her mission has been focused on how to best to honor the land, curate a transformative experience for visitors, and provide an anchor point for the surrounding community. The two public hearings below are the key stepping stones we must traverse to fulfill this mission.

The revised plan

The vision for Rancho Almasomos has been evolving thanks in no small part to insightful community input.

We've spent months listening — to neighbors, to the county, to anyone who took the time to share a concern. What came back is a plan that stays true to why this land was worth protecting in the first place, while answering directly to what mattered most to the people around it.

  • Fewer casitas than originally proposed
  • Buildings set farther back from the creek
  • Smaller overall development footprint
  • Wellness facility removed from the plan
  • Mesa and view corridors preserved
What's at stake

Your support is the key ingredient to protecting this land and our vision for it.

Four ways to help

How to support us

Here are four ways to show your support — some just take a minute; some carry a little more weight with the county than others. We humbly ask that you do as many of these steps as you can.

Takes a minute · builds our list of supporters

Add your name

Every name we collect shows the county support for the Rancho Almasomos vision is real and a force to be taken seriously. Plus, it gives us a means to keep you in the loop as things develop.

Your name, city, and the date are recorded with your signature. We'll email you a link to confirm — your name is added once you click it. We respect your privacy and never sell your information.

A few minutes · carries real weight

Send a letter to the county

We've written ten sample letters covering the angles that matter most. You may simply pick the one that resonates most, or edit it as you'd like to make the words truly yours, either way we've made it as easy as possible to send it straight to the county so that it lands in the official record.

Choose a letter to send. Pick the one that fits, add anything personal, and send it straight to the county — your comment goes into the official hearing record.

Sends to Yavapai County Development Services (stephanie.johnson@yavapaiaz.gov), subject line referencing PLA26-000029, Rancho Almasomos PAD. Deadline for letter submissions is September 11th, 2026. Prefer paper? Mail it to Yavapai County Development Services, Attn: Stephanie Johnson, 10 S. 6th Street, Cottonwood, AZ 86326.

The strongest signal · be in the room

Attend a hearing

Nothing carries more weight with the Board than seeing this community show up in person. Add the dates to your calendar now, and come lend your voice. Even just sitting in the room sends a message.

September 17, 2026 Planning & Zoning

9:00 AM · Yavapai County Building, 10 South 6th Street, Cottonwood, AZ 86326

October 21, 2026 Board of Supervisors

9:00 AM · Yavapai County Building, 10 South 6th Street, Cottonwood, AZ 86326

Want to speak? Here's how.

You can't simply raise your hand when public comment opens. Each hearing has its own way to get your name on the list, and you'll need to do it before the meeting starts. Speakers are limited to three minutes.

Planning & Zoning — September 17

Fill out a PZ Participation Form. You'll find copies at the back of the room on the actual day, or you can download one in advance and bring it filled out. (Note: you'll need the agenda item number to fill out the form. The county typically assigns this a couple weeks before the hearing.)

Board of Supervisors — October 21

Sign in at the entrance. A comment card will be waiting for you there — no form to print or bring.

Get there early. Signing up before the meeting starts is the only way to be called.

Multiply your support

Spread the word

Not everyone in your circle knows what's happening yet. A share takes ten seconds and puts this in front of people who might sign, write, or show up because you did.
