Payson areas Scott covers
Payson's townsite was founded in 1882, when it was called Union Park, and the town incorporated in 1973. Its early industries were logging, ranching and mining, and its rodeo, started in 1884, is billed as the "World's Oldest Continuous Rodeo." Today the town sits where SR 87 and SR 260 meet, surrounded by the Tonto National Forest. Scott covers all of Payson, including:
- Main Street: the downtown district, once a wagon trail, running between Green Valley Park and the Sawmill Theatres.
- Green Valley Park: the 45-acre park with three lakes, home to a replica of Zane Grey's cabin.
- Rumsey Park: the community pool, dog park and skate park.
- The golf communities: The Rim Golf Club and The Golf Club at Chaparral Pines.
- Star Valley: the separate town along SR 260, incorporated in 2005.
Payson uses ZIP codes 85541 and 85547. Pine, Strawberry and Tonto Natural Bridge State Park are north on SR 87. Scott also serves Camp Verde and Globe. See the Camp Verde page. See the Globe page.
What Payson homeowners call about
Payson is a homeowner town with an older population: 75.7% of homes are owner-occupied, according to the Census, with a median home value of $382,400, and about 40% of residents are 65 or older. The town names retirement, home building and tourism as its leading industries. That shapes the work:
- Keypad and smart locks: a code you can give a neighbor, cleaner or family member, and change later, without leaving a key under the mat.
- Rekeys: after you buy a home or cabin, lose a key, or change who has access. A rekey changes the pins inside your existing locks so only your new keys work. More on rekeying and home locks.
- Easier hardware: lever handles and keypad deadbolts are easier to use than small knobs and keys for anyone with stiff hands.
- Sheds, garages and outbuildings: Scott installs and rekeys locks on outbuildings and can key them so one key opens what you want it to.
- Safes and gun safes: opening a safe when the combination is lost or the keypad dies, replacing safe locks, and moving safes. More on safe services.
Locksmith service for Payson businesses
The town lists the Payson Unified School District, Banner Payson Medical Center, Walmart, Mazatzal Casino and the Town of Payson among its major employers. Along Main Street and the highways there are also shops, restaurants, lodging and offices. Scott handles the work a business needs:
