Service on record

City records show the 2020 permit was finalized; the permit description states “Upgrade electrical service from 100 amps to 200 amps.” — an increase in capacity as described, not a confirmed installed rating.

Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelCurrentLast permitted 2020 (6 years ago). City inspection record: ELECTRIC - FINAL approved 2020-07-30. Contractor of record: MR ELECTRIC OF TUCSON (DBA). The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. T20EL00340 — Upgrade electrical service from 100 amps to 200 amps.
• Heating & coolingCurrentLast permitted this year (2026). City inspection record: COT - RSME - Mechanical Final approved 2026-01-23. Applicant on the permit: Parker and Sons Environmental Conditioning LLC. The assessor records cooling as Evaporative and heating as Forced Air (assessor characteristics can lag permitted work). 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. TC-RES-0126-00114 — HVAC Replacement: 3T split gas system to 3T split heat pump
• 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. The assessor records the roof as Tile.
• 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. 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.

• Worth confirming

  Solar was permitted here in 2022. 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.

Recorded sales (5)

Recorded sales are the sales the Pima County Assessor has on file from affidavits of property value — not every transfer, not listings, and not a valuation. Parties are never shown here. A sale with no permitted electrical work since is worth knowing before the next sale or a remodel.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2026-01-17 (TC-RES-0126-00244) — A claim has been made against several structures on our property, case number: CE-V1O0126-00017. I was instructed by the department of development to request a permit, even for those things that have been on the property for a long time, or before we moved in. * A stand alone shed in on the NW corner of the property, dating back to 1998 we believe. Less that 200 sq. feet. 6x8 feet, 8 ft H. Hidden mostly by concrete wall. * A "carport" /shade structure that the department representative said was put up in 2014/15. We moved in in 2019, and had several house inspections, none of which flagged any of the structures. The posts are 8ftx19ft apart, and the "roof" is 10ft x 20ft. It is 8 ft high. It is not connected to the house. It does not store anything. There are no utilities. * Another stand alone shed, 4ft wide, 8 ft deep, 6 ft high, less than 200 sq ft, at the SE corner of the property. It is barely visible from the road, but if we need to build up the wall in front of it to hide it, we can do that. * The wall around our house. The wall is under 7 feet and on or inside the property line, but I understand that I need to request a zoning review. At the NE corner, the wall goes around around a pre-existing saguaro that is on the property line, which may be what the the complaint is referring to. We wanted to protect the saguaro, but now understand that this is not in compliance with code. The needed change will be addressed in the site plan. REV1: The plan has been modified to show the property line located 8’ from the face of curb. Please note that the dimensions of the property line have been held and this shift has increased the setback of elements on the south side of the property. Additionally, per separate email communication, the site wall along the north edge of the property has been revised to more precisely show its position relative to the property line. This wall is not perfectly parallel to the curb or property line and has been shown with this varying distance..

Permit history (7)

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 (1)

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?
