PLEASE NOTE -- A.R.S. 11-475 now requires:
A person recording a deed of trust or mortgage constructed for at least one family but not more than four families shall include "RESIDENTIAL 1-4" in the caption heading on the first page of each document. Failure to comply with this subsection does not affect the validity of the document or the validity of the recording of the document.

* Instruments should be on white paper size 8.5 x 11 inches or 8.5 x 14 inches. Black ink should be used, with a font size of at least 10 point.

* Each instrument should have original signatures.

* Original copies or certified copies of the original can be submitted for recording.

* The document should have a caption that briefly explains the nature of the document. (For example: warranty deed, deed of trust, etc.)

* The first page of the document should have a 2-inch margin on the top. This area is reserved for the recorder's information. The left 3.5 inches of the top of the first page may be used to give the name of the person requesting the recording, as well as the name and address to which the document is to be returned after recording.

* Subsequent margins should be at least .5 of an inch on the top, bottom, and sides.

* Every deed or conveyance of real property must be signed by the grantor and must be duly acknowledged.

* If an instrument intends to modify or correct a previously recorded document, it must state the date of recordation and the docket of page of the document being referenced.

* For any deed or conveyance that evidences a transfer of title, an affidavit of property value form needs to be submitted in order for the real property document to be recorded. If claiming an exemption to this form, the exemption code must be listed on the face of the deed. Exemption codes can be found on the back of the affidavit of property value form, which can be downloaded from the Arizona Department of Revenue webpage.

* The assessor's parcel identification number is required for the affidavit of property value form. This number can be obtained from the county assessor.

* The affidavit of property value form must be signed by both the seller and the buyer. The affidavit must be notarized.
