  • Electrical service & panelCurrentLast permitted 2020 (6 years ago). City inspection record: ELECTRIC - FINAL approved 2020-12-07. Contractor of record: NERD POWER AZ LLC ** APA **. The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. T20CM06496 — INSTALL 3.84 kW ROOF MOUNTED PV SYSTEM AND UPGRADE PANEL TO 200 AMP
  • Heating & coolingNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2026 residential building - one or two family permit is on file (and 1 more like it) — 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 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

    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

    There is an electrical reconnect permit from 2015. The service was disconnected at some point and brought back — usually after a vacancy, a utility disconnect, or work that required the power off. Worth knowing what prompted it.

  • 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: 2026-05-15 (TC-RES-0526-02564) — Installation of 13.50 kWh Battery Only System with existing PV system.

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.

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?

How this report was built

This is a reading of public records for parcel 116125200 — 4 permits on file from 2015 to 2026 (2 residential building - one or two family, 1 combo, 1 electrical reconnect) and 5 code enforcement cases — assembled from the Pima County parcel file, the City of Tucson’s Property Research Online file (permits back to about 2006, further on some parcels), and the City’s GIS permit and code-enforcement layers (2022 onward). Public records last checked 2026-08-17; the record is re-read at least weekly. Each permit and code case links to its official file. 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. A permit that is present is strong evidence; a permit that is absent is weak evidence — plenty of work is never permitted, and older county records were only partly moved online.
