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’s Regional Flood Control District regulate against their own, and that is the one a permit here is judged against.

Parcel outlined in yellow. Drawn live from the agency’s own map service. No local regulatory floodplain is mapped here, so there is no second map to show. Context for planning, not a floodplain determination.

• FEMA: FEMA flood zone AO — Special Flood Hazard Area (1% annual chance flood); floodplain rules and elevation requirements typically apply to new exterior equipment and structures. FIRM panel 04019C0713L, effective 2011-06-16.
• Pima County RFCD: No Pima County regulated local floodplain, floodway, sheet-flooding area or erosion hazard area is mapped at this location. That is the county's map, not a statement about drainage on the site.
• Base flood elevation: the county maps 5 BFE contours near this parcel, 1739–1750 ft NAVD88. Those are contour lines near the property, not an elevation certified for this site.
• City of Tucson: its flood-hazard mapping covers City limits only and does not apply to this parcel. The jurisdiction above is the one to ask.

Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & panelNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2025 electrical / mechanical 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 2025 electrical / mechanical 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

  Solar was permitted here in 2025. That means there is an existing interconnection, and the main breaker and busbar rating already carry a PV backfeed — so anything else you add (an EV charger, a heat pump) has to be checked against what is left under the 120% rule, not against the service size alone.

• 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.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2025-06-11 (P25FC00440) — SOL.

Permit history (5)

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?

Utility and upgrade pathElectric service in this area is largely Trico Electric Cooperative; parts are Tucson Electric Power. That matters for an upgrade: the meter release, the required clearances and the point of attachment come from whichever utility serves the meter, and Trico’s process is its own. Check a recent bill or the label on the meter — and see TEP new-service requirements for the TEP side.

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 maps are not. Pima County publishes its GIS data with this limit: boundaries and locations shown “are approximate, and should not be used for authoritative or legal location purposes… If legally-defensible boundaries or locations are required, they should first be established by an appropriate state-registered professional.” The City of Tucson says its mapping is “not suitable for site-specific decision making.” 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.
