Cottonwood areas Scott covers
Cottonwood was founded in 1879, laid out its Main Street in 1908, and incorporated in 1960 at 4.3 square miles. The smelter town of Clemenceau, whose smelter closed at the end of 1936, is now part of the city. Scott covers all of Cottonwood, including:
- Old Town: the Cottonwood Commercial Historic District on North Main Street, listed on the National Register in 2000, home to the 1917 Cottonwood Hotel and tasting rooms.
- SR 89A and SR 260: the city's main highways, which meet in Cottonwood. The city counts about 35,000 vehicles a day through that intersection.

What Cottonwood homeowners and landlords call about
Cottonwood has a mix of owners and renters: 53.6% of homes are owner-occupied, according to the Census, with a median home value of $324,100. About 37% of residents are 65 or older. That shapes the work:
- Rekeys between tenants: the fastest way to make sure a former renter's key no longer opens the door. More on rekeying and home locks.
- New owners: after you buy, a rekey makes sure keys from the previous owner, agents and contractors no longer work.
- Keypad and smart locks: a code you can give family, a caregiver or a guest, and change later.
- Easier hardware: lever handles and keypad deadbolts are easier to use than small knobs and keys for anyone with stiff hands.
- Safes: opening a safe when the combination is lost or the keypad dies, replacing safe locks, and moving safes. More on safe services.
