Mohave County AZ Document Search: Recorder Records

Information from the official Recorder website and EagleWeb public-search notice.

Mohave County uses an online self-service document search commonly known as EagleWeb.

The system indexes official records by grantor, grantee, recording date and other available document information.

Step-by-step document search

1. Open the Recorder’s self-service website.

   Start on the EagleWeb disclaimer page. Read the access conditions before continuing.

2. Accept the disclaimer.

   Complete any verification shown on the page, then choose the acceptance option.

3. Select an available search method.

   Use the name, recording reference, document type or other fields provided by the live portal.

4. Enter the name in the correct format.

   The county requires the last name first, followed by the first name, without a comma.

5. Add the approximate recording date.

   A date range can help narrow results, particularly for common names.

6. Review matching records.

   Compare the document type, parties, recording date and reference number.

7. Open the correct recorded document.

   Review the available index and image information. Request a copy or certification if needed.

Search both sides of a transaction

A grantor is generally the party transferring a property interest. A grantee is generally the party receiving it.

If you are researching deeds and possible liens, the Recorder’s FAQ recommends searching the available Both Name fields.

This helps you review documents where the person may appear in different positions in the record.

Can I search by recording number?

If you already have a recording number, book-and-page reference or document details, use the corresponding fields when offered by the portal.

A recording reference is often more precise than searching a common name.

Many users search the Recorder with only a house address, but not every recorded document contains a searchable street address or parcel number.

The county specifically warns that these fields are not reliable for every record. Use the Assessor first when you need to identify a property.

After opening: follow these steps

1. Open the Assessor’s parcel search.

   Follow the Assessor Search tool from the county’s official website.

2. Use an available property search field.

   Enter the address, owner or parcel information supported by the live system.

3. Confirm the correct parcel.

   Compare the property location and other identifying details.

4. Save the available parcel and ownership information.

   Keep the parcel number and owner name for your Recorder search.

5. Return to EagleWeb.

   Search the relevant person’s name or known recording information.

Why might the owner names be different?

The Assessor’s property database and Recorder’s index are separate systems.

The Recorder warns that Assessor records may not update immediately after a deed is recorded.

A difference between the two systems does not automatically mean that a deed is fraudulent or invalid.

Need a subdivision or survey map?

Mohave County provides access to parcel plat maps, record-of-survey maps, subdivision maps and other mapping resources.

The Recorder also states that official recorded maps can be searched and viewed through its public records system.

The Recorder maintains records affecting real estate, personal property, mining interests and other transactions authorized by Arizona law.

Understanding the document name can help you choose the correct search method.

Does the Recorder have marriage or divorce records?

Marriage licenses and divorce records are handled by the Clerk of Superior Court, not the Recorder’s land-document search.

The county directs these requests to the Superior Court Clerk at 928-753-0713.

What about birth and death certificates?

Contact Mohave County Public Health Vital Records at 928-753-0748.

These documents are not the same as recorded real-estate instruments.

You can submit a properly prepared deed at a Recorder office or mail the original document to the county.

The Recorder checks documents against Arizona recording requirements. Staff cannot prepare deeds, select ownership arrangements or give legal advice.

1. Prepare the correct deed

Confirm that the instrument matches the intended transaction. Check the grantor, grantee, legal description and execution requirements.

A quitclaim deed, warranty deed, beneficiary deed and joint tenancy deed do not have identical legal effects.

For questions about ownership or deed language, consult a qualified Arizona real-estate attorney or title company.

2. Follow Arizona document-format rules

Arizona Revised Statutes Section 11-480 establishes important recording requirements.

The instrument must have a caption identifying its nature, be sufficiently legible, and generally contain original signatures unless the law provides an exception.

Part of the first-page top margin may contain the recording-request and return-address information.

3. Check the Affidavit of Property Value requirement

Arizona generally requires an Affidavit of Property Value for deeds and qualifying real-estate transfers unless an exemption applies.

The affidavit reports information such as the transaction price, date, property identification and parties.

If the transaction qualifies for an exemption under A.R.S. 11-1134, the instrument must identify the applicable exemption as required.

4. Use the county’s recording forms when needed

Mohave County publishes forms for quitclaim deeds, warranty deeds, beneficiary deeds, joint tenancy deeds and recording cover sheets.

These are resources, not personalized legal instructions. Staff cannot determine which deed is right for your situation.

5. Submit the document and payment

The standard Mohave County recording fee is $30 per document unless a different statutory fee applies.

The county asks filers to provide a valid telephone number or email in case recording staff need to contact them.

6. Understand the processing and return timeline

When accepted, the Recorder assigns a unique recording number and adds the document to the county’s permanent public records.

Documents presented in person are returned after scanning, according to the county’s FAQ.

For mailed documents, the county says the original is generally returned to the address on the document in approximately 4–6 weeks.

Mohave County publishes a flat $30 recording fee for most documents. Some government instruments, maps and other recordings have separate rates.

The schedule is based on Arizona Revised Statutes Section 11-475 and has been in effect since July 1, 2019.

How much is a certified deed copy?

The Recorder’s schedule lists $1 per copy page and $3 to certify a document.

How do you order a copy?

The county allows document-copy requests in person, by mail, by telephone or through its online self-service system.

Useful details include the recording number, book and page, recording date or names on the document.

If requesting by mail, include a self-addressed stamped envelope and confirm the fee before sending payment.

The Recorder says its office and online system accept credit cards, with a transaction fee.

What about plat maps?

Plat and survey recordings have separate size and fee requirements. Large recorded maps should not be treated as ordinary deed pages.

Mohave County provides a dedicated map-recording requirements page.

Mohave County offers a free Recorded Document Alert service that notifies registered users when a recording contains a monitored name, property parcel number or business name.

This can help property owners notice an unexpected recording sooner.

How to register for document alerts

1. Open the county’s Recording page.

   Choose Recorded Document Alert.

2. Accept the disclaimer.

   Complete the verification and select the acceptance option.

3. Select Sign Up.

   Enter the required account and contact information.

4. Activate the account.

   Follow the activation link sent to your email address. The county says delivery may take up to 24 hours.

5. Add an individual, parcel or business alert.

   Enter each item separately, select Add Alert and save your settings.

How should you enter a parcel number?

The county asks users to include dashes when adding a parcel alert.

For example, a parcel identifier might use the format 123-45-678.

However, the Recorder warns that not every document contains a parcel number. Name-based alerts are also useful.

What if you receive an alert?

First, examine the document. Someone else may have the same name, and the notification alone does not prove fraud.

If the document appears suspicious, save its recording reference and seek appropriate legal or law-enforcement assistance.

Yes. Mohave County accepts electronic recording through participating service providers.

The Recorder describes eRecording as a service primarily intended for businesses and organizations that submit documents regularly.

Who uses eRecording?

Approved service providers

The county’s eRecording page lists providers including CSC, Data Services, ePN, Indecomm, Simplifile and HopDox.

These providers may charge their own fees in addition to county recording costs.

Can an individual use eRecording once?

The Recorder recommends that one-time filers contact a local title company or use its listed legal resources rather than setting up a professional subscription.

In-person and mail submission remain practical options for properly prepared documents.

Mohave County has Recorder locations in Kingman, Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City.

Choose the most convenient office, but confirm branch hours before traveling. Some locations close for lunch or have different weekday schedules.

Mailing address for recording documents

A missing search result can have several explanations. It does not automatically mean that a deed was never recorded.
