Arizona rules to know before you send it
Commercial purpose: A.R.S. § 39-121.03
Arizona requires anyone who wants public records for a commercial purpose to give the office a signed statement of that purpose, and the office may charge a commercial fee. Using the list to find properties to buy for profit is likely a commercial purpose. Hiding a commercial purpose can make you liable for three times the commercial fee. The letter builder adds the statement when you tick “My use is commercial”.

- Find the records contact. Look on the tax office's website for an open-records email address or online request portal. If the office has its own form, you can paste this letter into it.
