Flood and drainage

The federal flood map and the local one are not the same map, and they do not always agree. FEMA’s is the insurance map. Pima County’s Regional Flood Control District and the City of Tucson regulate against their own, and that is the one a permit here is judged against.

Pima County RFCD local floodplains, floodways, sheet-flooding and erosion hazard areas, with the City of Tucson’s own mapped flood hazards. This is the map local floodplain regulation uses.

Parcel outlined in yellow. Drawn live from the agency’s own map service. FEMA maps no flood hazard area here, so there is no federal map to show — which is the difference this section exists to surface. Context for planning, not a floodplain determination.

• FEMA: FEMA flood zone X — minimal flood hazard, not a Special Flood Hazard Area. FIRM panel 04019C1693L, effective 2011-06-16.
• Pima County RFCD: Pima County maps this location inside a special-studies floodplain delineation on Christmas Wash. County floodplain regulation applies here whatever the FEMA map shows — the two are separate maps with separate rules.
• City of Tucson: The City of Tucson maps a local flood hazard here on Treat Ave. Wash (flood). This is the City's own study, separate from the FEMA map.

Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelCurrentLast permitted 1998 (28 years ago). Contractor of record: AUTHENTIC WEST CONSTRUCTION INC. The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. T98EL00951 — UPGRADE:ELECTRIC:TO 200 AMP
• Heating & coolingNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2013 addition / alteration permit is on file — work like this is often folded into a larger permit without being named, so open that record and check its scope before concluding anything. Cooling equipment works harder in Tucson than almost anywhere, so 12 to 15 years is a realistic service life rather than the 15 to 20 the industry quotes.
• Water heaterNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Water heaters are frequently swapped without a permit, so this line is especially weak evidence either way.
• RoofNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system.
• Plumbing work on recordOn recordLast permitted 2009 (17 years ago). Plumbing permits cover everything from a full re-pipe to a few feet of sewer repair, so this is a record that work happened rather than a statement about the whole system. T09PL01428 — REPLACE: WATER LINE (APA)

A found permit means a lot. A missing one means less. We read the City of Tucson’s own permit file, not a recent extract of it — back to about 2006, and into the 1990s on properties with that much history. Microfiche before then was never fully digitised. Every record links to the city’s official file. A blank line does not say nothing was done: work gets done without permits all the time. The only way to know what is actually installed is to look at it.

What that usually means electrically

• Era-based check — high priority

  Knob-and-tube wiring may still be present in original, un-remodeled areas. It has no ground and is not rated for modern loads or insulation contact. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check — high priority

  Original services this age were 30–60 A fuse panels. Nearly every one still in place is undersized for a modern household. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check — high priority

  Branch circuits from this era are typically ungrounded two-wire — the reason you see two-prong outlets or ungrounded three-prong replacements. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2025-02-23 (TR-ROW-0225-00248) — On Sunday, April 6th, Living Streets Alliance will host its 22nd Cyclovia Tucson event, having participants enjoy one of Tucson's Bike Boulevards from Broadway Village to La Madera Park. It connects the neighborhoods of La Madera, Country Glenn, Blenman-Elm, Sam Hughes, and Broadmoor-Broadway which are part of Ward 3 and Ward 6. The route will have activities at La Madera Park, Himmel Park, and 2 other pocket parks in Blenman-Elm and Country Glenn. Over 45 other nonprofit organizations and NGOs, local businesses, and community partners will bring the 3 mile route to life, providing a free, fun, car-free day for an anticipated 50,000 people from across the region to enjoy..

Permit history (9)

How to read the status column: Final / Complete / C of O — city records show the permit was finalized. Issued — the work was permitted, but final completion is not confirmed. Applied / In review / Approved / Fees paid — proposed, not completion. Expired — the permit expired without a confirmed final status. Void / Withdrawn / Canceled — not evidence the work was installed. Any other status is shown exactly as the issuing office records it, without a completion reading.

Record numbers link to the City of Tucson’s official file. Highlighted rows are the ones that imply electrical work or an unpermitted-work finding.

This is an inference from public records — the year a structure was built, how it is classified, and what has been permitted. It is not an inspection, and nothing here confirms what is actually installed at this address. The only way to know is to look in the panel. See an error in this public-record report?

Utility and upgrade pathElectric service here is Tucson Electric Power (TEP). A service or panel upgrade needs a TEP meter release and has to meet TEP’s service requirements — meter height and location, clearances, and the point of attachment. See TEP new-service requirements and the TEP standards notes.

The contractor’s read is a plain-English brief of the record above, written by AI — what it shows across electrical, mechanical and the building itself, what is missing for the era, and what to verify on site.

What the flood maps are not. Pima County publishes its GIS data with this limit: boundaries and locations shown “are approximate, and should not be used for authoritative or legal location purposes… If legally-defensible boundaries or locations are required, they should first be established by an appropriate state-registered professional.” The City of Tucson says its mapping is “not suitable for site-specific decision making.” Nothing here is a floodplain determination, an elevation certificate, or a substitute for one. A parcel can straddle a boundary, and a Letter of Map Amendment can remove a structure the map still covers. For a determination, ask the floodplain administrator for the jurisdiction named above; for a design that has to satisfy one, that is work we do.
