Notice: This Grant Deed is a legally valid conveyance instrument under your state's law. In some areas, local practice more commonly uses a "Warranty Deed" label for similar transfers. Either form effectively conveys title. Confirm with your title company or recorder if a particular format is preferred for filing. If you are conveying under a purchase contract, check whether it requires a warranty deed — many standard contracts in this state do.

Is this the right deed type? A grant deed transfers ownership with limited implied warranties — narrower than a warranty deed, broader than a quitclaim.

This packet contains a PublicLegal-authored Arizona deed, not a county-issued form. Record the completed deed with the County Recorder. County, city, or town cover sheets, transfer or tax forms, fees, and filing procedures may apply. Only the documents listed under Included documents are included. Official office directory: Arizona county recorder directory.
Arizona recording note. Record with the County Recorder of the county where the land lies. Arizona has 15 counties. Most recordings need Form 82162 or a specific on-deed § 11-1134 exemption; this packet does not include an official affidavit blank. Arizona has no real-property transfer tax. An Arizona warranty deed uses “convey and warrant” and warrants title against all persons (A.R.S. § 33-402(3)), not six Washington covenants. An Arizona quitclaim uses “quit claim” and must not use “grant” or “convey” (A.R.S. §§ 33-402(1), 33-435). Ordinary acknowledged deeds need no witnesses. Community property and family homestead transfers may require both spouses to sign.

About this Arizona form

What Is an Arizona Grant Deed?

An Arizona grant deed is a valid deed form that transfers real estate with limited implied covenants. Under Arizona law, words such as "grant" or "convey" can imply that the grantor has not previously conveyed the same estate to another person and that the estate is free from encumbrances at the time of execution, including taxes, assessments, and liens, unless the deed limits those covenants.

When to Use a Grant Deed in Arizona

  • Using a limited-covenant Arizona deed when that warranty scope is intended and understood.
  • Completing a transaction where the parties, title company, escrow officer, or attorney specifically calls for a grant or conveyance deed.
  • Choosing a valid alternative to a warranty deed when full warranty language is not desired.

Arizona Requirements for Grant Deeds

  • Signing: The grantor must sign the deed. Both spouses generally must sign for community property and for a family homestead, while sole-and-separate property may be conveyed by the owner spouse alone.
  • Notarization: The grantor's signature must be acknowledged before a notary or other authorized officer.
  • Witnesses: Arizona does not require deed witnesses for an ordinary grant deed.
  • Recording: Record the deed with the County Recorder in the Arizona county where the property is located.
  • Affidavit of Property Value: Most Arizona real-property transfers require a separate Affidavit of Property Value unless a statutory exemption applies. Exempt instruments should identify the exemption on the deed.
  • Transfer Tax / Recording Fees: Arizona has no state, county, city, or municipal real-property transfer tax. County recording fees and the statutory transfer fee can still apply.
  • Legal Description: Use the complete legal description from a prior deed, title commitment, survey, or other reliable title source. A street address or tax parcel number alone is usually not enough.

Grant Deed vs Other Arizona Deeds

A grant deed offers more assurance than a quitclaim deed, but it is not the same as a full warranty deed. Warranty deeds are the more customary Arizona path for many ordinary sale transactions. Trust, probate, fiduciary, beneficiary-deed, and other specialty transfers may require a different deed type or professional assistance.

Arizona Recording Notes

Arizona deeds are recorded at the county level, and recorder formatting rules can include margin, cover-page, return-address, and indexing requirements. Remote online notarization is authorized in Arizona, but real-estate transactions may still require title-company, lender, court, or county-recorder acceptance. Confirm supplemental forms, fees, and recording details before relying on a completed deed.

Recorder offices and state agencies may require separate supplemental forms, taxes, fees, or cover sheets, and requirements vary by jurisdiction and transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Grant Deed Forms

Both spouses generally must sign and acknowledge a deed conveying Arizona community property or a family homestead. A married person may convey sole-and-separate property alone, but community-property, homestead, divorce, and title facts should be checked carefully.

Record the original notarized deed with the County Recorder in the Arizona county where the property is located.

No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release the borrower from an existing mortgage or deed of trust, and lender consent may be required for an assumption, refinance, or other loan change.

Arizona has no state, county, city, or municipal real-property transfer tax. County recording fees and the statutory transfer fee can apply, and most transfers require a separate Affidavit of Property Value unless an exemption applies.

No. This is a PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form, not an official Arizona recorder, county, or government form. Confirm county recording requirements and required supplemental forms before recording.

Arizona does not require an official recorder-issued deed form for an ordinary grant deed, but the deed must be properly drafted, signed, acknowledged, delivered, and recorded with the required legal description and any required supplemental forms.

A grant deed generally transfers ownership with limited implied covenants — commonly that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to someone else and that the property is free of undisclosed encumbrances at signing, except any the deed itself discloses or excludes. Exact implied covenants depend on state law.

A warranty deed typically warrants title against claims from any point in the property's history, while a grant deed's implied covenants are limited — they do not warrant the property's entire history. Exact scope varies by state and by the deed's own terms.

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.
