ARKANSAS WARRANTY DEED.
Recording and return information: a house recording-stamp band, plus county, prepared-by / return-to, tax-parcel, and grantee mailing-address fields for the Circuit Clerk.
Party information: grantor and grantee names, mailing addresses, marital status, and vesting. If the property is a homestead, a married grantor’s spouse must join.
Consideration: a replaceable consideration prompt (nominal $10 recital or the actual consideration), plus the $3.30/$1,000 transfer-tax / stamps-or-certification note. This packet does not include an official affidavit blank.
Warranty conveyance — general warranty: the grantor grants, bargains, and sells and warrants generally with four express covenants, including a warrant-and-defend clause against all persons. This is not a statutory-only hybrid.
About this Arkansas form
An Arkansas warranty deed transfers Arkansas real estate with warranty protection from the grantor. It is used when the grantor is willing to stand behind the title covenants in the deed. Warranty scope depends on the exact covenant language in the completed instrument, so review the deed wording, title commitment, and transaction documents before recording.
A warranty deed provides deed-warranty protection based on its covenant language. A quitclaim deed transfers only whatever interest the grantor has, if any, without warranties. Arkansas statutory warranty concepts depend on specific deed wording; a separate “grant deed” label should not be assumed to provide different warranty protection.

Yes. Arkansas generally charges real property transfer tax of $3.30 per $1,000, or fractional part, of actual consideration on transactions over $100 unless a statutory exemption applies. The recorder normally needs documentary stamps plus the required certification or an acknowledged exemption statement before recording.
No. Arkansas does not require separate witnesses for an ordinary properly acknowledged deed. The deed should be acknowledged before a notary or other authorized officer before recording.
If the property is the grantor's Arkansas homestead and the grantor is married, the spouse generally must join in executing and acknowledging the conveyance. Separate dower/curtesy release issues can also require spouse participation.
Record the deed with the County Circuit Clerk where the property is located. A few Arkansas counties have two judicial districts with separate recording offices, so confirm the correct office for the land.
PublicLegal provides this self-help deed form template for customers to complete with their own transaction information. For transaction-specific legal, title, tax, or recording guidance, consult an attorney, title company, tax professional, or the local recording office.
No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release a borrower from an existing mortgage or deed of trust, remove liens, or replace lender consent, payoff, refinance, or assumption requirements.
A warranty deed includes the grantor's warranty covenants — generally a promise that the grantor owns the property and will defend the title against claims, subject to any exceptions stated in the deed. It offers the grantee broader title protection than a quitclaim deed.
Warranty deeds are commonly used in arm's-length sales and other transfers where the grantee wants full title warranties from the grantor. Lenders and title insurers generally expect them for ordinary purchases.
The packet includes the blank state-specific deed in editable Word format plus a separate completion instructions and checklist document. A completed sample PDF may be offered as an optional add-on.
Recording offices review formatting, execution requirements such as notarization, and any required supplemental forms or fees, which vary by county. The included instructions cover the general process; confirm your county's current requirements before you record.
