Customer Account Information

If you are a frequent customer of the Maricopa County Recorder's Office, you may consider opening a customer account to streamline business transactions with our office. We currently have more than 1,500 account customers, and more than 90% utilize electronic recording. Having an account will also eliminate refund checks for overpayment of fees that need to be researched, as well as preventing documents from being rejected due to insufficient funds.

It is our responsibility to ensure that we collect fees upfront for recording and copy charges.

Getting Started

There are three documents required to set up your account: An account application, a memorandum of understanding, and a public record request form. In addition, you'll need to provide a $300 check payable to Maricopa County Recorder to debit recording/copy fees from. Once we receive your application packet and check, we will have your account set up within 24 hours. You will receive an email from the accounting team with your account number and instructions on how to log into your account on our website. If you expressed interest in electronic recording on your account application you will receive another email from our electronic recording team who will guide you through that process. This whole process will only take a few days.

When the account is established, the $300 will be posted to your account so that you have a credit balance. You can replenish the account by credit card online with a Visa/MasterCard, by ACH/Wire Transfer or with a check (the account number must be written on the front of the check).

Another Option

If you record across multiple jurisdictions, a third party submitter may be the answer for you. The fees or service charges from a third party submitter may be offset by the postage you pay to send and receive your documents from us. Additionally, this may cut down on the typical wait time of 4 to 6 weeks for your original documents to be returned to you. This also eliminates the need for refund checks due to overpayment of fees.
