If you need to find a property deed, mortgage, lien, or other real estate document tied to a Maumelle address, the Pulaski County recording system is where those records live. This page covers how to search, what to expect when you request copies, and the key resources available to Maumelle property owners and researchers.
Pulaski County Handles Maumelle Deed Records
Maumelle is a city in Pulaski County, and like all Arkansas cities, it does not maintain its own deed records. The Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk is the legal recording authority for all real property instruments filed within Maumelle city limits. That includes warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, mortgage documents, release of liens, plats, and powers of attorney related to real estate. When any property in Maumelle changes hands or gets encumbered, the transaction document must be recorded at the Pulaski County office to take legal effect against third parties.
The Circuit and County Clerk for Pulaski County is Terri Hollingsworth. The office serves as the ex-officio county recorder under Arkansas law, which means the same office that handles court filings also handles all real estate recording duties. This is the standard setup in Arkansas across all 75 counties. So if you are searching for a deed tied to a Maumelle home or lot, you go to the Pulaski County office, not Maumelle City Hall.
Pulaski County Circuit Clerk Office
The Pulaski County recording office is located in downtown Little Rock at 401 West Markham Street. The Real Estate Department is in Room 216. You can reach the records department at (501) 340-8500 and the real estate department directly at (501) 340-8433. The fax number is (501) 340-8340. The office is open on regular business days, Monday through Friday.
If you plan to visit in person to search older records, note that pre-1994 records require an appointment. The office offers four appointment slots each day: 8:15 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 12:15 p.m., and 2:15 p.m. These slots are only available Monday through Thursday. You must book online since the office does not take phone or email appointment requests. Two public-use computers are also available during regular business hours for self-service searches on more recent documents.
The office accepts cash, money order, and check for in-person payments. Credit cards are accepted online through the county payment portal. Mail submissions are also accepted, though you should call ahead to confirm requirements for your specific document type. No Xerox copies are accepted for recording. Only original documents or certified copies will be filed.
The Pulaski County real estate portal gives you online access to deed records at pulaskideeds.com. This system is free to the public and covers deeds, mortgages, plats, and liens recorded in the county.
What Maumelle Deed Records Cover
Deed records in Maumelle cover all types of real property instruments filed for land and homes within the city. The most common document types include warranty deeds, which transfer full ownership with guarantees; quitclaim deeds, which transfer whatever interest the grantor holds without guarantees; and special warranty deeds used frequently in commercial sales. Beyond basic deeds, the Pulaski County office also records mortgage documents, deeds of trust, release of mortgage or lien, mechanic's liens, lis pendens notices, subdivision plats, easements, and powers of attorney related to real estate.
Pulaski County records go back to 1819 in scanned form. The online system at pulaskideeds.com covers 1994 to present. For records from 1945 to 1977, microfiche copies exist but have limited availability and require an in-person visit. This depth of records makes it possible to trace the full chain of title for any Maumelle property if you are doing a thorough title search.
How to Search Maumelle Property Deed Records
The easiest way to search Maumelle deed records is through the Pulaski County Deeds Portal online. The system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can search by grantor or grantee name, property address, or instrument number. This covers documents recorded from 1994 to present.
For property assessment data and tax records, the Pulaski County Assessor maintains a separate online lookup at pulaskicountyassessor.net. That system covers over 170,000 taxable real property accounts and includes a GIS mapping tool. It shows ownership information, assessed values, and property boundaries. You can also search Pulaski County records through ARCountyData.com, which provides free access to property tax records, and through ActDataScout.com, a multi-county platform used by title searchers and real estate professionals.
If you need documents that predate the online system, you will need to contact the office directly or schedule an in-person appointment. Staff at the office can assist you but are not licensed or bonded to conduct official title searches on your behalf. They can show you how to use the equipment. A title company or real estate attorney handles formal title search work.

Recording Fees and Requirements
Recording a deed or other real property instrument in Pulaski County costs $15.00 for the first page and $5.00 for each additional page. This is the standard fee set by Arkansas statute and applies to all counties in the state. There is also a $25.00 non-compliance fee if you submit a document on 8.5" x 14" paper instead of the required 8.5" x 11" size. Certified copies cost $5.00 each.
When you sell or transfer real property in Arkansas, you must pay the Real Property Transfer Tax. The rate is $3.30 for every $1,000 of actual consideration for transactions over $100. So on a $200,000 home sale, the transfer tax would be $660. Documentary stamps are purchased at an Arkansas State Revenue Office and must be attached to the deed before recording.
As of August 5, 2025, Arkansas Act 752 requires that any individual filing a deed must present a valid photo ID at the time of filing. This requirement does not apply to licensed attorneys, real estate brokers, financial institution representatives, or state and local government employees acting in their official capacity. If you are filing on your own, bring a government-issued photo ID to the clerk's office. Note: this is a new requirement that took effect in 2025, so be sure you have your ID ready before heading to the counter.
E-Recording for Maumelle Property Documents
Pulaski County accepts electronic deed recording through approved vendors. E-recording lets title companies, lenders, and law firms submit documents digitally and receive same-day recording in most cases. The approved e-recording vendors for Pulaski County include CSC eRecording Solutions (866-652-0111, erecording.com), EPN eRecording Partners Network (888-325-3365, goePN.com), Indecomm Global Services (732-404-0081, indecomm.net), and Simplifile (800-460-5657, simplifile.com).
For individual property owners who are not regular filers, e-recording is typically arranged through your title company or closing attorney. If you are working with a lender, they often use one of these vendors by default. The process involves uploading a PDF of the signed and notarized document, paying the recording fee online, and receiving a confirmation once the clerk stamps it recorded. E-recording saves a trip to Little Rock and speeds up the process significantly for real estate closings in Maumelle.

Property Fraud Protection in Pulaski County
Pulaski County offers a free Property Fraud Alert program. When you sign up, the system emails you any time a document with your name gets submitted for recording in Pulaski County.

Sign up through the Circuit Clerk's office at the Markham Street address or call (501) 340-8500 to ask about enrollment.
This service does not stop a fraudulent filing from happening, but it gives you quick notice so you can take action.

Maumelle City Hall and Related Records
While Maumelle City Hall at 100 Millwood Circle does not record property deeds, the city maintains its own set of property-related documents. These include building permits, zoning approvals, subdivision plat approvals, annexation records, and code enforcement files. If you need records about a structure on a Maumelle property rather than the deed itself, the city offices are the right place to start. The Maumelle Municipal Court Clerk can be reached at (501) 851-7800.
