Arizona real estate documents are recorded with the elected County Recorder in the county where the property is located.
For remote online notarization (RON), e-recording eligibility means the entire transaction can stay digital: sign and notarize online with Notaron, then submit the notarized document electronically for recording — no printing, shipping, or wet-ink originals. Title companies, lenders, and signing services use this combination to close and record the same day.
