Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2014 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “UPGRADE UP TO 200 AMPS”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The permit expired without a confirmed final status. Official status: Expired. City inspection record: last recorded inspection 2014-05-05; no approved final is shown. Contractor of record: JMAC ELECTRIC LLC * APA *. T14CM01261 — UPGRADE UP TO 200 AMPS
• Heating & coolingPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2005 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “REPLACE: HEAT PUMP (APA)”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The permit expired without a confirmed final status. Official status: Expired. Contractor of record: PERRY HEATING AND COOLING INC ,*C. The assessor records cooling as Refrigeration and heating as Forced Air. T05ME00106 — REPLACE: HEAT PUMP (APA)
• 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 Prepared Roll.
• 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

  Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco/Sylvania panels were still being installed into the 1980s. Both have documented failure-to-trip histories, by different routes: Stab-Lok breakers fail internally — the trip mechanism jams or sits out of calibration — while Zinsco breakers can weld to the bus, so the handle moves but the circuit stays live. Neither is fixed by a replacement breaker, which is why the panel is what gets replaced. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check

  100–150 A was typical. Workable for the original house, tight once you add EV charging or electric heat. 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 2014. 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 (3)

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: 2014-03-04 (T14CM01261) — UPGRADE UP TO 200 AMPS.

Permit history (5)

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?
