Maricopa County Quitclaim Deed Form

This download is the Arizona Quitclaim Deed captioned under A.R.S. 33-402(1), the statutory quitclaim form restated in full sentences. Its preprinted conveyance clause quit claims to the grantee all of the grantor's right, title, and interest in the property, passes whatever interest the grantor holds at delivery, if any, and states that the deed contains no covenant or warranty of title, express or implied. It is delivered as one statewide form; the county line in the property section is blank for entry of any Arizona county.

What the purchase includes

• Quitclaim Deed Form – a fillable four-page PDF preceded by a one-page instructions sheet marked for removal before signing and recording.
• Quitclaim Deed Guide – a six-page companion that walks each section of the form and covers co-ownership designations, signing, recording, the 2026 statutory changes, and the deed's limits.
• Completed Example – the same four-page form filled in for a fictional Maricopa County lot.

The fillable fields accept typed entries; the instructions page also provides for handwritten entries in black ink and single-sided printing on white letter-size paper. The guide notes that text beyond a field's visible area does not print and describes the package's convention of an attached exhibit page for an entry too long for its field.

One form for one or two grantors

The deed carries two grantor signature blocks, the second labeled “if applicable,” each with its own acknowledgment certificate. The instructions page and guide describe the first block as serving a single grantor, with the second block and its certificate left blank, and the second block as accommodating a joining spouse or any second grantor. One instrument therefore covers a single grantor, two co-owners conveying together, or spouses joining in a conveyance of community real property, the joinder A.R.S. 25-214(C) calls for in a disposition of community real property, subject to that section's exceptions.

Affidavit of Property Value and the exemption line

Under A.R.S. 11-1133(C) the county recorder refuses to record a deed unless a complete Affidavit of Property Value is appended or the deed bears a notation of an A.R.S. 11-1134 exemption. The form provides a dedicated “Affidavit of Property Value exemption (if claimed)” line beneath the legal description, the placement the Department of Revenue's affidavit instructions give for that notation. The instructions page and guide describe the line as holding the notation when an exemption is claimed and the affidavit as accompanying the deed when no exemption applies. The example's entry, “A.R.S. 11-1134 A4,” corresponds to the statute's paragraph for a quitclaim deed to quiet title or otherwise executed for no monetary consideration; the Department of Revenue's code list abbreviates that code as the quiet-title quitclaim. The Department of Revenue Affidavit of Property Value (Form 82162) is not included in this download.

What the example demonstrates

The example is the delivered form completed end to end for a husband-and-wife conveyance to one grantee for no monetary consideration. It shows how each section reads when filled: a platted-lot legal description, a source-of-title entry citing a prior recorded deed, the exemption notation beneath the legal description, and both grantor blocks and both acknowledgment certificates completed. Entries appear in blue italic to mark field content rather than formatting to reproduce. Because the example and the blank form share the same caption, sections, preprinted text, and certificates, and the guide quotes the example's entries as it walks the sections, the blank form, guide, and example can be compared field by field.

What the guide explains

Beyond the section walkthrough, the guide explains the A.R.S. 33-431 co-ownership designations that may follow the grantee names: tenancy in common as the default for two or more non-spouse grantees, joint tenancy with right of survivorship and spouses' community property with right of survivorship only by express words, and that tenancy by the entirety is not an Arizona vesting (the example illustrates sole ownership with no designation). It covers signing before a notary or other authorized officer under A.R.S. 33-401(B) with no subscribing witnesses, out-of-state and remote online acknowledgments, the recorder's format standards, recording with the county recorder of the county where the property lies, the $30 recording fee under A.R.S. 11-475 (which includes the $2 real estate transfer fee), and the effect of recording against later purchasers and creditors while the conveyance is effective between the parties on delivery.

The guide also describes Laws 2026, Chapter 31 (SB1479), in force since September 12, 2026: the notary-journal thumbprint for signers of deeds and other documents affecting real property, with stated exceptions; photo identification for in-person or kiosk recording under A.R.S. 11-472, with listed exemptions; and the class 5 felony classification under A.R.S. 33-420(E) for knowingly recording a forged, groundless, or otherwise invalid document. The guide was written ahead of that effective date, so its “until that date” phrasing refers to a period that has already passed.

Boundaries of this deed

The guide's “What This Deed Does Not Do” section states the limits: the deed carries no covenant or warranty of title, makes no representation that the grantor owns the property or that title is free of liens or claims, and contains no promise to defend the grantee; it passes whatever interest the grantor holds subject to all matters of record; it does not by itself change the community or separate character of marital property; it transfers a present interest, is not revocable once delivered, and is not a beneficiary deed under A.R.S. 33-405; and it does not supply the trustee-beneficiary disclosure of A.R.S. 33-404 where a party holds as trustee.

The guide's Related Forms section names separately configured catalog versions of this deed (Individual Grantor; Joint and Community Property Grantors; Interspousal; Divorce; Corrective). None of them is delivered with this purchase, which is the single general statewide form with its “Grantor 2 (if applicable)” block and no divorce, interspousal, or corrective recital.
