PORA Membership
PORA Works for You
PORA is the primary liaison between the Sun City West unincorporated community, Maricopa County, the City of Surprise (and other municipalities), the State of Arizona, and our federal government. PORA's membership of approximately 17,000+ strong reaches the residents of Sun City West, Corte Bella, The Grand, and surrounding West Valley communities.
