How to Search Arizona Property Records (Start Here)
Property records in Arizona are maintained at the county level. The County Assessor handles property valuations and assessment data. The County Treasurer handles tax bills and payments. These are separate offices with separate databases.
What this page covers: Arizona property assessment lookups, tax record searches, and parcel/ownership data. What it does not cover: Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages (those are on the Recorded Documents page) or property transfer history.
Where to start: For property values and tax assessments, start with the County Assessor. For tax payment history and bills, go to the County Treasurer. For ownership verification, you may need both the assessment records and the recorded documents.
Common mistake: Property assessment records (values and taxes) and recorded documents (deeds and liens) are maintained by different offices in Arizona. The County Assessor handles assessments; the County Recorder handles recordings. Search both if you need the full picture.

Five Things People Get Wrong About Arizona Property Records
MYTH"The assessor and the recorder are the same office."
FACTTwo different jobs: the recorder files deeds and mortgages; the assessor sets taxable values. Which office you need depends on which question you're asking.
MYTH"Zillow shows the official Arizona value."
FACTNo. A Zestimate is an algorithm's guess. The official value is set by the county assessor, and that's the number property taxes are built on.
MYTH"Assessed value equals market value."
FACTDifferent numbers for different jobs. Assessed value exists for taxation and in most places sits below what the house would sell for.
MYTH"All liens show up in the county records."
FACTMostly, not all. Federal tax liens and UCC filings often live in separate indexes — check the Secretary of State's records too before calling a title clean.
MYTH"Looking up property records costs money."
FACTBrowsing is free on most Arizona county portals. The fees start when you order certified copies or pull full document images.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I search Arizona property records?▼
In Arizona, property records — including parcel data, assessed value, deeds, and tax history — are primarily maintained at the county level by each county's Assessor and Recorder. Statewide oversight and reporting are provided by the Official Arizona Property Records at azdor.gov. See the cards below or the county page for direct local search links.
Is there a free statewide Arizona property search?▼
Arizona does not have a single statewide free property search; deed and assessment data are searched at the county level. The Official Arizona Property Records publishes statewide property-tax rules and aggregate data at azdor.gov; for individual parcels, use the county assessor or recorder.
What's the difference between the Assessor and the Recorder in Arizona?▼
The county Assessor determines property values for tax purposes and maintains the parcel roll. The county Recorder (sometimes Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other instruments affecting title. In some Arizona countys these are combined offices; in others they're separate. The Official Arizona Property Records at azdor.gov publishes the full list.
How do I find an Arizona parcel ID (APN/PIN)?▼
Parcel identification numbers (APN, PIN, or parcel number depending on the county) are assigned by the county assessor. They appear on every tax bill and on the county's online property-search interface. Once you have the parcel ID you can look up assessed value, ownership history, and recorded documents through the county site; the statewide overview is at azdor.gov.
How do I challenge an Arizona property assessment?▼
Assessment appeals in Arizona are filed at the county level with the local assessment appeals board, typically within a deadline set after annual valuation notices are mailed. The Official Arizona Property Records publishes the statewide rules, deadlines, and appeal forms at azdor.gov.
