Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2023 solar pv 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. That does not tell you the service is original — only that nothing has been permitted here recently. The build year is the better clue, and it is above.
• Heating & coolingNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2023 solar pv 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. The assessor records cooling as Evaporative and heating as Forced Air. 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.
• RoofCurrentA newer 2023 permit for the same system is recorded as “Issued” — The work was permitted, but final completion is not confirmed. The permit description states “INSTALLATION OF A 48 - 400W MODULE, 19.20kW DC FIXED-TILT BALLASTED SOLAR PV ARRAY MOUNTING SYSTEM ON EXISTING FLAT BUILT-UP FOAM ROOF PLANE.”. Last permitted 2023 (3 years ago). The assessor records the roof as Built Up. TC-RES-1223-09952 — INSTALLATION OF A 48 - 400W MODULE, 19.20kW DC FIXED-TILT BALLASTED SOLAR PV ARRAY MOUNTING SYSTEM ON EXISTING FLAT BUILT-UP FOAM ROOF PLANE.
• Plumbing work on recordOn recordLast permitted 2019 (7 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.

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

  GFCI protection was not required at all kitchen counter receptacles until the 1996 code. Expect gaps in kitchens, garages, and exterior outlets. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Worth confirming

  The assessor records a pool on this parcel. Equipment bonding, the equipotential bonding grid and GFCI protection on the pump and light circuits are the usual findings on pool equipment — the pool-bonding rules in NEC Article 680 were expanded in the 2008 cycle, so a pool built before that is worth an on-site check.

• Worth confirming

  Solar was permitted here in 2023. That means there is an existing interconnection, and the main breaker and busbar rating already carry a PV backfeed — so anything else you add (an EV charger, a heat pump) has to be checked against what is left under the 120% rule, not against the service size alone.

• Era-based check

  Panels and breakers from this era are near the end of their service life even where the original installation was sound. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2023-12-21 (TE-FPU-1223-00421) — INSTALLATION OF A 48 - 400W MODULE, 19.20kW DC FIXED-TILT BALLASTED SOLAR PV ARRAY MOUNTING SYSTEM ON EXISTING FLAT BUILT-UP FOAM ROOF PLANE..

Permit history (21)

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.

Code enforcement (5)

Code cases and housing-code violations recorded against this parcel, by category. Closed cases stay on the record, and most of these are closed — check the status column. We show the category and the official record number rather than the complaint text, which often names people who have nothing to do with the property.

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?
