Service on record

A 2025 permit was issued; completion is not confirmed in the available record; the permit description states “upgrade 100 amp panel to 200 amps” — an increase in capacity as described, not a confirmed installed rating.

Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2025 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “upgrade 100 amp panel to 200 amps”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The work was permitted, but final completion is not confirmed. Official status: Inspections. City inspection record: COT - RSEL - Electrical Final approved 2026-01-28. TC-RES-1225-05989 — upgrade 100 amp panel to 200 amps
• Heating & coolingPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2017 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “REPLACE: 3.5 TON SPLIT SYSTEM (APA)”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The permit expired without a confirmed final status. Official status: Expired. The assessor records cooling as Evaporative and heating as Floor Furnace. T17CM05782 — REPLACE: 3.5 TON SPLIT SYSTEM (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

  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.

Recorded sales (1)

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.

The most recent permitted work on this parcel was in 2025 — recent enough that the current code cycle applied. Work done without a permit leaves no trace here at all.

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 here is Tucson Electric Power (TEP). A service or panel upgrade needs a TEP meter release and has to meet TEP’s service requirements — meter height and location, clearances, and the point of attachment. See TEP new-service requirements and the TEP standards notes.

The contractor’s read is a plain-English brief of the record above, written by AI — what it shows across electrical, mechanical and the building itself, what is missing for the era, and what to verify on site.

What the flood note is not. The flood zone shown is FEMA’s 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.
