Yes. Oro Valley is in Pima County. Property taxes and some assistance programs follow county rules, so I confirm details for each address before you write an offer.

Programs change often and can depend on the county, your income, and the loan type. Ask me which options are currently available for the address you are looking at, and I will check eligibility with you.

Yes. I work with veterans and active duty families across Oro Valley and the Tucson metro. VA loans can offer zero down for eligible borrowers.
