Do you know that requests for public records and building permit records not already uploaded to Property Research Online (PRO) must be submitted through Tucson Development Center (TDC) Online?

Reasons you may need to request a public record could include, but are not limited to:

  • Certificate of Occupancy
  • Performing renovations or improvements
  • Validating permits for previous work
  • Purchasing a property/due diligence research

To submit a records request:

  • Navigate to PRO
  • Search the address page on PRO to ensure the property is within the City of Tucson limits. This will be indicated by jurisdiction on the right hand side.
  • Search the address page on PRO to see if the information you need has already been uploaded
  • If you don't already have one, sign up for a TDC Online account where you can complete the online request form for historic building permit records
  • Log in to your TDC Online account
  • Under Application Assistant, apply for ‘Request Historic Records’
  • Enter/Add individual addresses, no parcel numbers
  • In the ‘Description’ field, enter DOCS, PLANS, or BOTH/ALL
  • Additional contacts may be added if all parties have registered for a TDC Online account
  • Please do not attach documents, they will not be processed as part of this request
  • Electronically sign your request
  • Review and submit your request

Unless otherwise notified, records requests are typically completed within four weeks of submittal. It is important to note that Planning and Development Services houses building permit records only.
