"Instruments recorded include real estate transactions, mortgages, deed of trust, family trusts, personal property, tax liens, mining locations, subdivision plats, records of survey, military discharges, official appointments of office, and other documents required to be made of public record. The second major duty concerns elections since the County Recorder is also the registrar of voters for the county.

 * 9 Jan 1852 - New Mexico redefined the boundaries of previous counties and created new ones to cover all the land within its territory. The boundary of Dona Ana County was expanded to include some land in present day Cochise County Arizona. But most of the land that later became Cochise County still belonged to Mexico. Look for records in the Mexico Archives and Dona Ana County.
 * 30 Dec 1853 - The US bought the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico. It contained land south of the Gila River in present day Arizona, including most of the land in present day Cochise County. Look for records in the National Archives and Records Administration, the Mexico Archives, and the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives.

 * 24 Feb 1863 - The US created the Arizona Territory from the western half of New Mexico Territory. All previous counties were discontinued for this new territory. Look for records in the Arizona State Library and New Mexico State Records Center and Archives
 * 10 Nov 1864 - Arizona created Pima County. This county is named for the Pima Indians. It included all the land in present day Cochise County. Look for records in Pima County.

Land
The Cochise County Recorder has records of land transactions going back to the founding of the county in 1881. Records from 1989 to the present can be searched online. For earlier records, you may have the office staff search the records for you for a fee of $26 per year searched. If you visit the offices, there is no charge to search, except for copies.

Most of the land in Arizona was originally obtained from the US federal government by a patent. These General Land Office Records are available and searchable free of charge. The minimum information needed for a search is the state where the land is located and the name of the person receiving the patent. Surveys and Land Status Records can also be searched here.
