A. Lien
filing. When filing a lien with the Division, a person shall submit a Title and
Registration Application (available online at
www.azdot.gov/mvd/FormsandPub/mvd.asp),
the most recently issued certificate of title, the fee or fees to be paid as
provided by law, and any other documentation required pursuant to A.R.S. Title
28.
1. The Division shall record a statement
of all liens and encumbrances on the vehicle or mobile home record upon
receiving a lien filing that meets all requirements prescribed in this
subsection.
2. The Division shall
immediately return a lien filing, with a letter stating why the lien filing was
returned, when the lien filing does not meet the requirements prescribed in
this subsection.
B.
Multiple liens. The Division will record up to three liens on any one vehicle
or mobile home record. Additional liens are recorded through the County
Recorder's office. Liens are valued in the order that they are filed and
recorded on the vehicle or mobile home record. However, the Division considers
the primary lien recorded on the vehicle or mobile home record to be above all
other subsequent liens or encumbrances. In the absence of an operation of law
lien, only the lienholder in the primary position may repossess a vehicle or
mobile home.
C. Lien filing notice.
The Division shall notify the lienholder of the recording of a lien.
1. The Division shall issue an Arizona
Certificate of Title or, when the lienholder is an Authorized ELT Participant,
transmit an electronic lien notification to the primary lienholder.
2. The Division shall issue a
computer-generated Lienholder Record to each subsequent lienholder recorded on
the vehicle or mobile home record. The Division shall not issue a duplicate
Lienholder Record.
