Not one Verrado parcel is taxed by another city or by the county.
Last verified: September 2, 2026. Every count below was queried from the Maricopa County Assessor parcel file on that date with SubdivisionName LIKE '%VERRADO%'. Percentages are computed from those counts.
The short answer
Verrado is not a city. It is a recorded, platted community, and the whole of it sits inside the City of Buckeye.
We counted it in the county's own parcel file: 12,234 parcels carry a Verrado subdivision name, spread across 203 separate recorded plats. Of those, 11,825 — 96.7% — are taxed by the City of Buckeye. The remaining 409 carry no taxing district in the file at all, which is what new splits and common-area parcels look like before they are assessed. Not one Verrado parcel is taxed by another city or by the county.
So the permitting authority for a Verrado project is the City of Buckeye. Buckeye's own rules, Buckeye's counter, Buckeye's ADU code.
The trap that is specific to Verrado
- Buckeye — Parcels: 11,217; Share: 91.7%
- Litchfield Park — Parcels: 1,016; Share: 8.3%
- Unincorporated Maricopa County — Parcels: 1; Share: 0.0%
- Total — Parcels: 12,234
1,016 Verrado parcels — 8.3% of them — carry a Litchfield Park mailing address, and 1,017 carry ZIP 85340, which the county maps to the Litchfield Park community. Every one of them is permitted by the City of Buckeye.
If you live on the Litchfield Park side of Verrado, your mail, your ZIP, and your permitting authority disagree. Nothing about that is unusual in the West Valley, but it means a Verrado homeowner who searches for "Litchfield Park building permit" ends up at the wrong counter.
Where the parcels sit by ZIP
- 85396 — Parcels: 8,108; Share: 66.3%
- (blank) — Parcels: 3,016; Share: 24.7%
- 85340 — Parcels: 1,017; Share: 8.3%
- 85326 — Parcels: 93; Share: 0.8%
- Total — Parcels: 12,234
The blank ZIPs are parcels the file does not carry a ZIP for. They are counted here rather than dropped, so the total matches.
