• Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2016 addition / alteration 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 2016 addition / alteration 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. 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.
• 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. This parcel is in unincorporated Pima County, so we read the county’s own permit system — including its historical permits, which reach back into the 1990s where they exist. Every record links to the county’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

  AFCI protection did not enter the code until the 1999 NEC (bedroom circuits, effective 2002) and was not expanded to most living areas until 2008 — so houses from the earlier part of this range typically have none at all. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Worth confirming

  A pool or spa was permitted in 1999. 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.

• Era-based check

  200 A is typical and is usually adequate — worth confirming the panel has physical space before planning new loads. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

Permit history (13)

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 issuing office’s official file — Pima County’s portal for county permits, the City of Tucson’s for city records. 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?
