Census and NOAA figures for the city of Live Oak in Suwannee County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Live Oak was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Florida median of 1988. That is older than the Suwannee County median of 1991.1 Owner-occupied homes in Live Oak are older than rentals: a median build year of 1973 against 1983.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Live Oak has a mixed housing stock: 56% detached houses, 3% attached or townhouse units and 12% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 24% 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 Live Oak, with 47% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Florida share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Live Oak is valued at $160,300 (ACS), below the Florida median of $359,000. Within Suwannee County the median is $171,600, so Live Oak 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 Jasper station averages 31 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3
Summers are hot: about 82 days a year reach 90°F and 1 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 about 53 inches, with 16 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Cooling dominates the year: about 2,216 cooling degree days against 1,722 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. The coast is about 48 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Live Oak sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6
Building permits in Live Oak are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
