• Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. 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 & coolingGetting onLast permitted 2012 (14 years ago). City inspection record: MECHANICAL - FINAL approved 2012-08-02. The assessor records cooling as Refrigeration 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. T12CM03620 — REPLACE 5 TON GAS SPLIT SYSTEM GROUND (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 Built Up.
• Plumbing work on recordOn recordLast permitted 2022 (4 years ago). Plumbing permits cover everything from a full re-pipe to a few feet of sewer repair, so this is a record that work happened rather than a statement about the whole system.

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

  This is the aluminum branch-circuit window (roughly 1965–1973). Solid aluminum on 15/20 A circuits is a recognized fire hazard at the terminations and needs approved repair — COPALUM or AlumiConn, not a wire nut. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check — high priority

  Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) and Zinsco/Sylvania panels were sold through this period. Stab-Lok breakers have a documented history of failing to trip internally; Zinsco breakers can weld to the bus so the handle moves without breaking the circuit. In both cases a replacement breaker does not resolve it — the panel itself is what gets replaced. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check

  100 A was typical. Adding an EV charger, heat pump, or casita usually forces a service upgrade first. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Worth confirming

  A pool or spa was permitted in 2022. Pool equipment brings its own bonding grid, GFCI requirements, and usually a subpanel — and the bonding rules have tightened since, so older installations are worth verifying.

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.

Permit history (3)

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?
