Marana

Web design in Marana, from the Town's business license to Downtown Marana

The Town's Marana Heritage page says Marana incorporated in March 1977 to keep control of water rights, taking in about 10 square miles, and that about 1,500 townspeople elected the first town council in August 1977. Marana is one of RAMZ's local focus places for web design and its Revenue Engine.

The Town's business license

The Town's Business Licenses page requires a license for anyone conducting business within the Town. It defines a business as any person or entity providing goods or services within Marana, whether or not it is physically located inside the town limits.

A new Standard Business License costs $60, of which $40 is refundable if the application is denied. Renewal is $40 a year, and a $10 late fee applies if it is paid 15 days after expiration.

The Town's website lists business licensing under its Finance department. The Business Licensing contact is at (520) 382-1900, Monday to Friday, and the Town's site footer gives its address as the Ed Honea Marana Municipal Complex, 11555 West Civic Center Drive, Marana, AZ 85653.

The Economic Development office

Marana's Economic Development office runs a concierge service for new business owners, in which the Town assembles a team of Town departments and utility providers to guide the owner through various processes. Its contact email is econdev@maranaAZ.gov.

Downtown Marana

Downtown Marana is planned for about 20 acres of Town-owned land at Marana Main Street and Civic Center Drive. The Marana Town Council adopted the lease agreement on December 16, 2025, and the Town's page sets no completion date.

The Town's incentives page lists a Downtown Marana Reinvestment Fund, which uses construction sales tax and general sales tax revenue from new downtown projects and businesses to pay for beautification and infrastructure in the designated Downtown District.

What a Marana owner gets from RAMZ

Each part of town a client works in gets its own page from RAMZ. RAMZ puts no overlay or toolbar on a Revenue Engine, and the accessibility sits in the templates themselves.
