What Is an Arizona Deed of Trust?
Arizona uses deeds of trust instead of traditional mortgages for real estate financing. A deed of trust involves three parties: the borrower (trustor), lender (beneficiary), and trustee who holds legal title until the loan is paid. When paid off, a Deed of Release is recorded. This structure enables Arizona's non-judicial foreclosure process through trustee sales under A.R.S. Section 33-807.
Arizona's deed of trust process differs from traditional mortgages in key ways. The trustee holds "bare legal title" as security, with the borrower retaining equitable title and possession. Upon default, the beneficiary can instruct the trustee to conduct a foreclosure sale without court involvement—significantly faster than judicial foreclosure. Our Full Property Owner Lien Report identifies all recorded deeds of trust and their current status.
Arizona-Specific Title Considerations
🏛️ Community Property State
Arizona is one of nine community property states. Property acquired during marriage is presumed to be owned equally by both spouses regardless of whose name appears on the deed. Arizona also allows "community property with right of survivorship" vesting under A.R.S. 33-431, which automatically transfers the deceased spouse's interest to the survivor. Understanding property vesting is critical for title searches—our reports identify current vesting type and ownership structure.
đź’§ Water Rights
In Arizona's desert climate, water rights are critical and can be held separately from land ownership. The Arizona Department of Water Resources administers groundwater in Active Management Areas (AMAs) including Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, Pinal, and Santa Cruz. Properties in AMAs face strict regulations on groundwater use. Water rights may not transfer automatically with land sales. Our Preliminary Title Report identifies recorded water rights and documents any water-related encumbrances.
⚖️ Anti-Deficiency Protection
Under A.R.S. 33-814, Arizona's anti-deficiency statute protects borrowers from deficiency judgments on residential properties of 2.5 acres or less with one or two dwelling units when foreclosed through trustee sale. This protection applies to both purchase money and non-purchase money loans foreclosed non-judicially. For trustee sale investors, understanding anti-deficiency protections helps assess potential post-sale claims.
đź“‹ Affidavit of Property Value
Arizona requires an Affidavit of Property Value for most deed recordings. This document reports sale price, financing terms, and property characteristics. Exemption codes apply to certain transfers (gifts, divorces, foreclosures). The affidavit stamps on deeds provide valuable sale price information for property research. The Maricopa County Assessor and other county assessors use this data for property valuation.
🏠HOA Super-Liens
Arizona HOA liens have priority over most liens recorded after the HOA's CC&Rs. Under certain conditions, HOA assessment liens can have "super-priority" status. Arizona law requires specific notice procedures before HOA foreclosure. For properties in planned communities—common throughout Phoenix, Tucson, and suburban developments—our lien reports identify all recorded HOA liens and their priority status relative to other encumbrances.
What Liens Survive an Arizona Trustee Sale?
Liens that survive Arizona trustee sales include: property tax liens (always survive), senior deeds of trust (recorded before the foreclosing deed of trust), IRS federal tax liens (with 120-day redemption rights), and certain HOA assessment liens. Junior liens recorded after the foreclosing deed of trust are typically extinguished by the trustee sale. Arizona has no post-sale redemption period for non-judicial foreclosures—title transfers immediately to the winning bidder.
Arizona trustee sales must occur at least 91 days after recording the Notice of Trustee Sale under A.R.S. 33-807. The borrower can reinstate until 5:00 PM on the last business day before sale. Our Full Property Owner Lien Report ($195) identifies all liens that may survive, helping investors calculate true maximum bids. For auction properties, always verify lien priority before bidding.
