A title company sends it to the county recorder. Like I said, there is no way to cut in line.
To record a deed, you need the deed itself (properly executed, notarized, and whatever else is required in Arizona) as well as money for the recording fees.

eight years ago my wife and i transferred land from my wife and i to my wife.my wife filed her qc deed the same day, then the land to the east was sold to her aunt, she filed her qc deed the same day .then two weeks later her aunt changed the description on her qc deed to reflect my wifes property and then refiled
her deed. i was told that this means that the land to the east reverts back to my wife and i. so my wife and i sold the land to my neighbor with a warranty deed.he did not file for four years. it has been four years since he filed his warranty deed. who owns the property to the east? my wifes aunt or my neighbor? and who owns my wifes property ? my wife or her aunt?

If you took it to recorder yourself, wouldn’t they time-stamp it right then?
If not, I’d send it by certified-with-receipt USPO mail, so you’d have proof of when you sent it, and when they received it.
I’ve had it happen that a doc I sent in for recording wasn’t returned to me for several weeks, but to my recollection, it was always recorded the minute it was opened by the recorder’s clerk.
Since recording time & date is legally critical in many situations, I’m amazed to think that it might take several weeks after you mail it!

the absolute quickest is to drive to the courthouse and do it yourself.

Are you serious? You give them the deed and pay your fee, and it takes 6-8 weeks before the document is recorded? That doesn’t sound right. I’m in Houston and it’s done in minutes I think.
Many courier companies take docs to the county recorder and have them entered. that’s probably what the title company will do, send it via courier.

The only place you can record a warranty deed is with the relevant (county/city) government recorder of deeds. If said recorder is backed up 6-8 weeks, then EVERYTHING going in is backed up 6-8 weeks. There is no way to “cut in line” so to speak.

Actually, in some counties in Maryland around here, it is that backed up. I closed on a purchase December 16 and the deed wasn’t recorded until January 27th.

Interesting to me that it would take OVER A MONTH to record a doc!
