County Updates
The Coconino County Board of Supervisors recently proclaimed November to be Native American Heritage Month
Coconino County embraces 22 Native American tribes in Arizona, and takes pride in the six tribes calling Coconino County home; whose economic
contributions, foods, medicines, remedies, art and literature are vital contributions to American life and endeavors.
We are dedicated to preserving and promoting Native American culture in the community, education and workforce.
Coconino County lifts fire restrictions in coordination with other agencies
Coconino County has lifted all fire restrictions on private lands in the unincorporated areas of the County in coordination with similar actions by Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest, as well as other agencies in the area.
The lifting of the fire restrictions is effective November 10 at 8:00 AM. The County action to lift fire restrictions ends the County’s campfire ban and Stage 1 fire restrictions enacted earlier in the year.
The end of the fire restrictions comes with cooler temperatures, improved relative humidity and recent snowfall that have helped to retard fire potential in the forests.
Fall 2020 Report to Citizens Available Online
The Fall 2020 Report to Citizens (RTC) is now available online at www.coconino.az.gov/Fall_2020_Report_to_Citizens. The RTC, which hit County mailboxes last week, includes stories and information about how County departments have met and continue to meet the challenges of COVID-19.

Five hundred permits will be designated for cutting areas on the Tusayan Ranger District, while the North Kaibab and Williams ranger districts will each have 1,000 permits available.
Permits are limited to one per household and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis until sold out. Each permit costs $15.00 per tree.
