Recording Requirements

Arizona has specific requirements for documents to be accepted for recording. Under A.R.S. 11-480, documents must meet format standards or they will be rejected. Knowing these rules before you submit can save time and hassle.

Every document needs a caption that briefly states what it is. Examples include warranty deed, quit claim deed, release of mortgage, or deed of trust. The first page must have at least a two-inch top margin reserved for recording information. The recorder stamps this area with the recording date, book, page, and document number. All sides need at least a half-inch margin.

Documents must be originals and clearly readable. The recorder will make certified copies from what you submit, so legibility matters. Faded, smudged, or poorly scanned documents may be rejected. If your document has exhibits or attachments, make sure those are also clear.

For deeds transferring property, you must include either an Affidavit of Property Value or an exemption code. This requirement under A.R.S. 11-1133 helps the state track real estate sales values. Common exemptions include transfers between family members and certain trust transactions. Without this form, your deed will not be recorded.
