What is 82162?
The Affidavit of Property Value (DOR Form 82162, 09/2026) is the sworn statement in which the buyer and seller of real property report the details of a sale or transfer, submitted to the County Recorder under A.R.S. §§ 11-1133 and 11-1137(B).
The form has 18 numbered items. They cover the Assessor's parcel number(s), seller and buyer contact details, whether the parties are related, the property address and where to mail the tax bill, property type and the buyer's use, type of deed or instrument, sale price, date of sale, down payment, method of financing, personal property, partial interests, solar or energy efficient components, the party completing the affidavit and the legal description. The reverse side defines primary and secondary residence, qualified family member and personal property.
According to the form, the County Assessors and the Department of Revenue use the data from these affidavits to develop tables and schedules for the uniform valuation of properties based on fair market value. Data supplied for an individual property will not directly affect the assessment or taxes of that property.
The form is not used for transfers that A.R.S. § 11-1134 exempts. For those, you do not complete the affidavit: you post the statute number and exemption code on the face of the deed instead. The Mohave County Recorder is the county office that publishes this fillable version.
Who needs to file 82162?
A.R.S. §§ 11-1133 and 11-1137(B) require all buyers and sellers of real property, or their agents, to complete and attest to this affidavit. The form is signed by the Seller / Agent and by the Buyer / Agent, and each signature is sworn before a notary public. Failure to complete it is a class 2 misdemeanor under the form's statement of the law.
Do not complete the affidavit if the transfer meets an exemption in A.R.S. § 11-1134. The form lists the exemption codes, for example:
- A1 to A7: payment in full or forfeiture of a recorded contract, leases and easements, sales to or from government, quitclaim deeds to quiet title, court-ordered conveyances, deeds to unpatented mining claims, and deeds of gift.
- B1 to B14: transfers to provide or release security for a debt, deeds that confirm or correct a recorded deed, residential transfers between family members for only nominal consideration, tax-sale and partition transfers, corporate mergers, trust transfers, joint tenancy and community property transfers, beneficiary deeds, parcel consolidation or splitting, and legal name changes.
Read the full wording of each code on the form before claiming one. For an exempt transfer, post the exemption notation on the deed instead of filing the affidavit.
When to file 82162
Complete the affidavit when real property is sold or transferred, unless the transfer meets an exemption under A.R.S. § 11-1134. If an exemption applies, no affidavit is completed; the exemption notation goes on the face of the deed, beneath the Legal Description, and any instrument describing an exempt transaction must carry that notation at the time of recording.
The form prints no separate due date. Item 11 asks for the date of sale as numeric digits (month and year), and Item 5(b) asks for the date the next tax payment is due, so have both dates ready before you start. Confirm with the Mohave County Recorder how the affidavit is handled together with the deed you are recording.
Documents you need
- A list of the additional parcels, only if the sale includes more parcels than fit in the four spaces under Item 1; the form says to attach a list if necessary.
- A copy of the legal description, only if it does not fit in Item 18; the form says to attach a copy if necessary.

How to submit 82162
Unless the transfer is exempt, you complete the affidavit, sign it, have both signatures notarized and submit it to the County Recorder; in Mohave County that is the Mohave County Recorder.
- Notarize first: the Seller / Agent and the Buyer / Agent each sign under oath, and a notary completes the "Subscribed and sworn to before me" block with the state, county, date, notary signature and notary expiration date.
- Submit to the County Recorder: the form names the County Recorder as the recipient and gives no street address, portal or appointment rule. The county's recording forms page is https://www.mohave.gov/departments/recorder/recording/forms/.
- Filing fee: the form refers to a filing fee that exempt transfers do not owe. Ask the Mohave County Recorder for the current amount and accepted payment methods.
- Exempt transfers: do not file the affidavit; post the notation, for example A.R.S. 11-1134 B3, on the deed.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Completing the affidavit for a transfer that A.R.S. § 11-1134 exempts, instead of posting the statute number and exemption code on the face of the deed.
- Signing without a notary. Both the Seller / Agent and the Buyer / Agent signatures are sworn before a notary, and each block needs the notary's expiration date.
- Checking more than one box in Item 6 (property type) or Item 9 (type of deed or instrument); both say to check only one box.
- Skipping Item 7 when you checked b, c, d or h in Item 6; the buyer must say whether the use is a primary residence, rental or non-primary residence.
- Leaving Item 8 blank when you checked e or f in Item 6; you must enter the number of units.
- Choosing primary residence in Item 7 when you have a homestead exemption for a home in another state; the form says the listed home cannot then qualify.
- Answering Yes to the personal property question in Item 14(a) without the dollar amount and a brief description in Item 14(b).
- Entering the date of sale in Item 11 as words instead of numeric digits (month and year).
Frequently asked questions
What is the Affidavit of Property Value?
It is DOR Form 82162, the sworn statement of a real property sale that buyers and sellers submit to the County Recorder. It records the parcel, parties, price, date, financing and use of the property for valuation data under A.R.S. §§ 11-1133 and 11-1137(B).
Is the Affidavit of Property Value a Mohave County property tax form?
It is a sale-reporting form published by the Mohave County Recorder, not a tax bill or payment form. The form states that data supplied for one property will not directly affect that property's assessment or taxes. Item 5 only asks where to mail the tax bill.
Do I have to file an Affidavit of Property Value?
Yes, unless the transfer is exempt. A.R.S. §§ 11-1133 and 11-1137(B) require buyers and sellers, or their agents, to complete it, and failure is a class 2 misdemeanor. If a § 11-1134 exemption applies, you skip the affidavit and note the exemption on the deed.
How do I claim an exemption from the affidavit?
Do not complete the affidavit. Post the statute number and exemption code on the face of the deed, beneath the Legal Description. For example, if Exemption Code B3 applies, the notation is A.R.S. 11-1134 B3.
Does the Affidavit of Property Value need to be notarized?
Yes. The form is sworn: the Seller / Agent and the Buyer / Agent each sign, and each signature has a "Subscribed and sworn to before me" block for the notary, with the notary's expiration date.
Where do I submit the Affidavit of Property Value in Mohave County?
Submit the completed, signed and notarized affidavit to the County Recorder, here the Mohave County Recorder. The form names no address or online portal, so check the county's recording forms page or contact the Recorder's office for how to deliver it.
Is there a fee to file the affidavit?
A filing fee applies to affidavits that are not exempt; A.R.S. § 11-1134 exempts certain transfers from both the affidavit and the fee. The form does not give payment instructions, so ask the Mohave County Recorder for the current amount and how to pay.
What counts as a primary residence on this form?
A residence the owner uses as a principal or usual place of residence, or that a qualified family member occupies as theirs. A second home, an unoccupied home or one owned by a financial institution is non-primary, and a home cannot be primary if you have a homestead exemption in another state.
