Is it time to upgrade?
- Electrical service & distributionFinaled permit foundA newer 2023 permit for the same system is recorded as “Issued” — The work was permitted, but final completion is not confirmed. The permit description states “Upgrade electrical service-adding / removing breakers to an existing switchgear. No overall amperage change. Engineered drawings attached.”. Last permitted 2014 (12 years ago). Worth reading the permit itself: it names the service but does not read as an increase in capacity, so this may have been a like-for-like replacement rather than an upgrade. Separately from replacement: NFPA 70E expects the arc-flash study to be reviewed at least every five years, or after any change to the service. T14CM04244 — NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR AIRPORT
- Heating, cooling & mechanicalNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Packaged rooftop units work 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. Worth confirming from the equipment nameplate rather than the record. Replacing a rooftop unit is also an electrical question: the new unit's minimum circuit ampacity and its disconnect often differ from the old one.
- Fire alarm & life safetyNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Any alarm or sprinkler work here predates this feed. For an occupied commercial building that is worth confirming from the panel and the inspection tags rather than assuming.
- RoofNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Roof age matters electrically too: it sets what can be penetrated for new rooftop units, conduit, or solar.
A found permit means a lot. A missing one means less. This parcel is in unincorporated Pima County, whose building permits are issued by Pima County Development Services and are not part of this record — what is shown here comes from the regional records, and is likely incomplete for this address. A records request to the county is the authoritative check. 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
A finaled 2014 panel/service permit is on record for this parcel, which makes it unlikely the original 200 A equipment is still in place. That is a permit record, not an inspection — verify the installed rating and the panel brand on site before sizing anything new. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.
- Worth confirming
Vacant or limited-use parcels often need the service re-established or re-sized before a tenant can occupy the space.
- Routine
A trade permit was pulled in 2014. Trade permits cover electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work individually, so some permitted trade work has been done here since.
TEP grid capacityThis parcel is not inside any of the 11 areas TEP has mapped as saturated with distributed generation (the nearest, “I-10 and Valencia Rd”, is about 1.8 miles away — TEP’s map set, July 2020). New generation still goes through TEP’s interconnection screens, and a heavy new load still merits a utility capacity check — the maps only mark where that review is most likely to bite.

Flood and drainage
The federal flood map and the local one are not the same map, and they do not always agree. FEMA’s is the insurance map; Pima County Regional Flood Control District regulates against its own, and that is the one a permit here is judged against.
- FEMA: we did not read the federal flood map for this snapshot, so no zone is shown here. That is a gap in this page, not a statement about the property. Check FEMA’s flood map for this address ↗
- Local floodplain (Pima County Regional Flood Control District): local floodplain mapping is not reproduced here. A property can sit outside FEMA’s zone and still be inside a locally regulated floodplain, floodway, sheet-flooding area or erosion hazard setback, so check the authority’s own map before planning work.

What that reading rests on. The issuing offices hold 3 building permits for this parcel dated between 2014 and 2023. By category the work is trade permit (3). 1 of them carries a final inspection; the other 2 were issued, expired or are still open, which is not the same as work completed.

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 out here is split: Trico Electric Cooperative serves much of unincorporated Pima County, Tucson Electric Power serves the rest, and a few areas sit on other systems. The meter release, clearances and point of attachment for an upgrade come from whichever utility serves the meter — check a recent bill or the meter label. See TEP new-service requirements for the TEP side.

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.

How this report was built
This is a reading of public records for parcel 14043015B — 3 City permits on file from 2014 to 2023 — assembled from the Pima County parcel file and the City of Tucson’s published permit layers together with the City’s own migrated permit archive, whose records reach back to the mid-1990s. Some records were still not read for this snapshot: City permit records before the mid-1990s were never fully digitized, and this parcel is in unincorporated Pima County, whose own permits (the county’s Accela portal) were also not read. The assessor’s building record, the sewer connection file and the flood map were also not read for this snapshot. Absence of a permit here is NOT evidence work was never permitted — it may predate the digitized record or sit in a system this snapshot did not read. Public records snapshot taken 2026-08-22.
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. Written and maintained by Arizona Electrical Solutions, LLC, a licensed Tucson contractor (ROC 276948 CR-11 electrical, ROC 326401 CR-39 HVAC, ROC 329360 KB-1, ROC 312437 KA).
