One of the most pressing growth related problems is the proliferation of wildcat subdividing, or lot splitting. It is generally defined as the proliferation of new residential parcels without the benefit of subdivision regulation. Often these areas are devoid of any basic infrastructure, standard environmental regulation, subdivision standards, or infrastructure requirements. This report addresses seven areas of concern.
This memorandum is intended to provide an indication of why unregulated development offers so little benefit to the tax base by describing, briefly, the fiscal tax base impact of the unregulated lot split issue at the community and watershed level.

Pima County's level of service standards tend to be low compared to other jurisdictions and compared to benchmarking information. This is not a surprising result, given the County's expenditures per capita are far below those of county governments in other parts of the United States that are experiencing growth pressures. A concurrency management system will bring service levels in line with population demands.
