Deeds, Mortgages and Liens in Glendale
Who owns a parcel in Glendale and what it sold for are in the deed records of the County Recorder, with every lien or mortgage against the land.
SearchSystems opened and checked the County Recorder's page at recorder.maricopa.gov (page title: Welcome to the Maricopa County Recorder's Office), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
Assessed Values and the Tax Roll in Glendale
What a parcel in Glendale is taxed on is the business of the County Assessor, which also keeps the parcel maps. Arizona taxes homes on their limited property value, which can rise no more than 5 percent a year, rather than on the full cash value the assessor also publishes.
SearchSystems opened and checked the County Assessor's page at mcassessor.maricopa.gov (page title: Maricopa County Assessor's Office), phone 602-506-3406, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Evictions and Court Cases About Land in Glendale

The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at justicecourts.maricopa.gov/app/courtrecords/casesearch. That page belongs to a lower court, the Justice Courts, not to the Maricopa County Superior Court.
