Columbia County facts

What Home Service Pros work with in Columbia County.

• The houses. Columbia County has about 60,412 homes and 159,638 people; 78.5% of homes are owner occupied, the median home is worth $287,400, and the typical one was built around 1998 (U.S. Census ACS 2019 to 2023).
• Permits. Columbia County Development Services, Building Standards (706-868-3420), 630 Ronald Reagan Drive, Building A, Evans. Grovetown and Harlem issue their own permits inside their city limits; the county covers Evans, Martinez and the unincorporated county. The county takes permit requests online only and says review can take 7 to 10 business days.
• Utilities. Water and sewer from Columbia County Water Utility Services for most of the county; Grovetown runs its own water and wastewater; electricity from Jefferson Energy Cooperative or Georgia Power, depending on the address.
• The ground. Mostly Piedmont, rolling hills of oak and pine over red clay, with Sandhills character along the southern edge near the fall line; 66 percent of the county is still forested. The county plan puts all of it in FEMA Wind Zone III and counts 42 flooding incidents along Euchee Creek, Clarks Hill Lake and the Savannah River in 70 years.
• Storms. Hurricane Helene, September 26 and 27, 2024: the National Weather Service estimated Columbia County gusts at 80 to 100 mph or more and counted 248 homes destroyed and 4,755 damaged, with widespread trees and power lines down and large sections of the county without power.
• Termites. The federal termite infestation probability map puts all of Georgia and South Carolina in its "very heavy" zone, the highest level, which is why lenders here ask for a termite letter.
• Towns and areas. Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Harlem, Appling, Riverwood Plantation, Canterbury Farms, Winfield, Leah, Pollard’s Corner.
• Landmarks. Clarks Hill Lake (Lake Strom Thurmond), Savannah Rapids Park on the Augusta Canal, Evans Towne Center, and Fort Eisenhower just over the county line, which Evans and Martinez grew up around.
