Arizona Deed Forms

Arizona usually uses a warranty deed for ordinary arm's-length sales, a quitclaim deed for selected no-warranty family, trust, or title-clearing transfers, and a grant/conveyance deed as a valid but less common limited-covenant alternative.

Recommended for many Arizona sale transfers

The customary Arizona deed path for many ordinary sale and lender/title-insurance transactions.

  • ordinary arm's-length sales
  • title-insurance and lender transactions
  • full warranty treatment
Watch for
  • Affidavit of Property Value requirements are separate from the deed
  • community property or family homestead interests may require both spouses to sign

  • commercial or nonstandard transactions where limited covenants are intended
Watch for
  • not the default Arizona residential sale recommendation
  • covenant wording should not be overstated as full warranty protection

Best fit
  • estate-planning transfer at death
Watch for

  • estate-planning and survivorship facts should be reviewed carefully

Specialty deed issues

Probate, trustee, sheriff, tax, correction, easement, mineral, deed-in-lieu, capacity, guardianship, conservatorship, and tribal or restricted-land issues require individualized help.

Watch for

Important Arizona recording notes

  • Most Arizona real-property transfers require an Affidavit of Property Value unless a statutory exemption applies.
  • Arizona has no state, county, city, or municipal real-property transfer tax, but county recording fees and a small statutory transfer fee can apply.
  • Community property and family homestead transfers can require both spouses to sign; sole-and-separate property is treated differently.
  • Arizona deeds are recorded with the County Recorder where the property is located.
  • Ordinary Arizona deeds require acknowledgment before a notary, not witnesses.

How to choose

Ordinary sale or lender/title-insurance transaction

Arizona warranty deeds are the customary starting point for many ordinary sale transactions.

Family, trust, or title-clearing transfer

A quitclaim deed may fit known-party transfers where no deed warranty is intended.

Limited-covenant or commercial transfer

A grant/conveyance deed is valid in Arizona but is usually a secondary path; special warranty treatment is not currently offered for PublicLegal self-service.

PublicLegal scope

Self-help scope

A self-help document you complete and record yourself — not legal advice and not a government-issued form.
