How far back do Pinal County Recorder records and images go?
Pinal County distinguishes between the searchable index, online document images and map coverage. Knowing the difference prevents a false assumption that a document does not exist simply because an image is not available online.
| Record type | Published coverage | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Recorded-document index | May 23, 1980 to current end date | Search through the official Acclaim portal. |
| Online document images | January 1, 1998 forward | Open available PDFs in the online system. |
| Recorded map search | March 13, 1885 forward | Use map records or contact the Recorder if the required image is unavailable. |
| Pre-1998 document image | Not generally provided as an online image | Contact the Recorder for access or a copy. |
How to get a Pinal County recorded document copy or certified copy
The correct method depends on whether you only need to read the document or need a copy that carries the Recorder’s certification.
Official copy-request methods
- Online: locate the record through the official Recorded Document Search when an online image is sufficient.
- In person: request the document through the Recorder’s Office.
- By mail: send the request to Pinal County Recorder’s Office, P.O. Box 848, Florence, AZ 85132.
- By contacting the Recorder: use the office for certified copies, pre-1998 image questions or records that cannot be resolved online.
How to record a deed or other document with the Pinal County Recorder
Recording is different from searching. The Recorder receives an instrument, reviews whether it meets statutory recording requirements, collects the required fee and, when accepted, adds it to the permanent public record and index.

Pinal County deed and document recording checklist
Arizona’s statutory recording rules are detailed, but these are the practical items most likely to matter before you walk into the Recorder’s Office or mail an instrument.
| Requirement | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Document caption | The document should briefly identify its nature, such as a deed, release or other instrument type. |
| Original and legibility | The instrument should be an original and sufficiently legible for reproduction. |
| Signatures | Original signatures are generally required unless another law provides otherwise. |
| Paper size | For covered instruments dated and executed on or after January 1, 1991, the maximum size is generally 8.5 by 14 inches. |
| Text size | Covered post-1990 instruments generally require print of at least 10-point type. |
| Page margins | Arizona law generally calls for at least one-half inch margins around the document. |
| First-page top margin | The first page generally needs a two-inch top margin reserved for recording information. |
| Return information | Provide the requester and return-name/address information in the area allowed by statute. |
This checklist summarizes common statutory form requirements; it is not document-preparation or legal advice. Review the current statute and Recorder instructions before submitting an instrument.

Recorder vs Assessor vs Treasurer: where should you go?
| Your question | Correct office | Official resource |
|---|---|---|
| I need the recorded deed | Recorder | Recorded Document Search |
| I only know the property address | Assessor first | Parcel Search |
| I need the APN or property valuation | Assessor | Assessor |
| I need a tax bill or receipt | Treasurer | Treasurer Parcel Search |
| I need a certified recorded deed | Recorder | Copy instructions |
| I want to know what deed I should sign | Attorney/title professional | Recorder staff cannot select or prepare legal instruments for you. |

Use the Pinal County Treasurer Parcel Inquiry. The Recorder maintains recorded instruments; it does not calculate or collect your property-tax bill.

For most visitors, the simplest workflow is: identify the property → locate the recorded instrument → verify the legal description and parties → save the fee number → obtain the correct copy.
Start directly with the Pinal County Recorder when you already know the party name, recording date, document type or fee number. Start with the Assessor when you only have an address. Move to the Treasurer only when your question concerns a tax bill, payment or receipt.
