  • Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2024 residential building - one or two family 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 2024 residential building - one or two family 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.
  • 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 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.

2024-10-03expired 2025-04-01TC-RES-1024-05741City permit recordFence / wallI currently have a permit for the house. T21CM05104. This permit mostly covers the main house. The guesthouse is included on the last page as well, mostly only intended to update the electrical and some other cosmetic changes. The intention was to complete the work in the guest house before completing the main house. This was to allow us to move into the guest house before tackling the larger renovation in the main house. Unfortunately, when we began the work it was clear that more extensive renovations were needed. There wasn’t any flashing put around the shower and as a result the walls/ceiling had rotted out. The plumbing was also completely gone and had been leaking into the ground. Therefore a large portion of the flooring also needed to be replaced. Once the demo was complete we adjusted the plan. I spoke with Ken Van Karsen. He suggested that I get an entirely different permit but direct the city to the original permit for site plans and context. His suggestion was based on the fact that we do not intend on working on the main house and would not need inspections for that part of the permit. I would also like to point out that the two portions of the house have different addresses for purposes of the electrical grid. Tucson Electric Power has the main house as 2246 E. 6th Street Unit A and the guest house as 2246 E. 6th Street Unit B. The guest house had a stove that was not included in the original plans submitted. I am not sure why but that stove was in the home when we purchased it. The plans submitted by the original owner that built the guest house reflect that. The plans that we are hoping for on this second permit are: we will move the stove, refrigerator and dishwasher from the north wall in the existing kitchen to the south wall in the existing bedroom. In the existing kitchen we will also be moving the door from the north wall to the west wall. In the bathroom we will expand the room to complete the square that was not in the original plan. Into that spot we will move the toilet. We will also move the sink and the shower. We will add a skylight. We also will move the laundry from the exterior shed to the new kitchen. We will also adjust the interior walls to create two small bedrooms and a small hallway where the original kitchen/dining room was previously.Withdrawn

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?

How this report was built

This is a reading of public records for parcel 125073370 — 4 permits on file from 2021 to 2024 (2 addition / alteration, 1 residential building - one or two family, 1 fence / wall) — 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.
