The median home in the city of Nogales was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arizona median of 1992. That is older than the Santa Cruz County median of 1991.1 Somewhat more of Nogales's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 56% against 50%, with 6% built since 2010. The largest single share, 39%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Santa Cruz County as a whole (34% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Nogales are of similar age: median build years 1978 and 1978.1

Nogales has a mixed housing stock: 50% detached houses, 12% attached or townhouse units and 14% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 9% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Nogales, with 49% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Arizona share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Nogales is valued at $186,300 (ACS), below the Arizona median of $394,500. Within Santa Cruz County the median is $233,000, so Nogales sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

The Nogales Intl Ap station averages 45 nights a year at or below 32°F and 2 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Heat is the governing season: about 110 days a year reach 90°F and 19 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is low, about 15 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,039 heating and 1,977 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Nogales sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4

Building permits in Nogales are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
