- Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. No permitted service work shows in the record we read. Homes of this era typically started with 100 to 150 A service; whether that still fits depends on what has been added since — air conditioning, a spa, an EV charger.
- Heating & coolingNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. 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 recordNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Unremarkable — plenty of buildings never need a permitted plumbing repair.
A found permit means a lot. A missing one means less. This parcel is in unincorporated Pima County, whose building permits are issued by Pima County Development Services and are not part of this record — what is shown here comes from the regional records, and is likely incomplete for this address. A records request to the county is the authoritative check. 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
AFCI protection did not enter the code until the 1999 NEC (bedroom circuits, effective 2002) and was not expanded to most living areas until 2008 — so houses from the earlier part of this range typically have none at all. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.
- Era-based check
200 A is typical and is usually adequate — worth confirming the panel has physical space before planning new loads. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.
- Routine
A trade permit was pulled in 1998. Trade permits cover electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work individually, so some permitted trade work has been done here since.
What to check at the panel
Everything above is read off public records. These are the things only someone standing at the panel can settle, and they take about a minute.
- The number stamped on the main breaker handle — 100, 125, 150, 175 or 200. That is the service rating, and no record on this page confirms it.
- The busbar rating printed on the panel label. It is a different number from the main breaker, and it is the one that decides how much solar a panel can take under the 120% rule.
- The manufacturer and catalog number on the label inside the door.
- How many full-size spaces are left, how many positions the label permits a tandem breaker in, and the tandem limit the label states. A full panel is a different job from a full service.
- The conductor material at the main lugs, and whether the terminations look clean and tight.
- Whether there is a separate meter-main outside as well as the panel indoors — that changes where a disconnect and any new feeder would land.
- Whether the water heater, dryer and range are gas or electric. No public record carries fuel type, and it is the single biggest variable in a load calculation — it can move the calculated load on the same house by more than 40 A.
With those in hand you can run the numbers yourself. The load calculator does the NEC 220.82 optional-method calculation — the same method a permit application uses — and shows its work.
What these jobs cost here
The public record for this parcel is too thin to price it honestly — only build year is known for this parcel — not enough to price it as anything but a city average. Rather than show you a number that is really just a Pima County average wearing this address, the calculator will ask you the four or five things that actually decide it and price it properly.
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 Regional Flood Control District regulates against its own, and that is the one a permit here is judged against.
- FEMA: we did not read the federal flood map for this snapshot, so no zone is shown here. That is a gap in this page, not a statement about the property. Check FEMA’s flood map for this address ↗
- Local floodplain (Pima County Regional Flood Control District): local floodplain mapping is not reproduced here. A property can sit outside FEMA’s zone and still be inside a locally regulated floodplain, floodway, sheet-flooding area or erosion hazard setback, so check the authority’s own map before planning work.

The most recent permitted work on this parcel was in 1998. That says the parcel was worked on under permit, not what the work covered — a roof, a pool or a changeout tells you nothing about the electrical service. Work done without a permit leaves no trace here at all.

What that reading rests on. The issuing offices hold 2 building permits for this parcel dated 1998. By category the work is trade permit and new construction. 1 of them carries a final inspection; the other one was issued, expired or is still open, which is not the same as work completed.

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 out here is split: Trico Electric Cooperative serves much of unincorporated Pima County, Tucson Electric Power serves the rest, and a few areas sit on other systems. The meter release, clearances and point of attachment for an upgrade come from whichever utility serves the meter — check a recent bill or the meter label. See TEP new-service requirements for the TEP side.

What the flood note is not. The FEMA map linked above is the National Flood Hazard Layer — the federal insurance map. Local floodplain mapping is not reproduced here; use the authority’s own map, linked above. 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.

How this report was built
This is a reading of public records for parcel 114178880 — 2 City permits on file from 1998 to 1998 — assembled from the Pima County parcel file and the City of Tucson’s published permit layers together with the City’s own migrated permit archive, whose records reach back to the mid-1990s. Some records were still not read for this snapshot: City permit records before the mid-1990s were never fully digitized, and this parcel is in unincorporated Pima County, whose own permits (the county’s Accela portal) were also not read. The assessor’s building record, the sewer connection file and the flood map were also not read for this snapshot. Absence of a permit here is NOT evidence work was never permitted — it may predate the digitized record or sit in a system this snapshot did not read. Public records snapshot taken 2026-08-22.
The verdicts are inferences from what was permitted and when, and from the era the building went up; they are not an inspection, and nothing here confirms what is installed. Written and maintained by Arizona Electrical Solutions, LLC, a licensed Tucson contractor (ROC 276948 CR-11 electrical, ROC 326401 CR-39 HVAC, ROC 329360 KB-1, ROC 312437 KA).
