Jefferson County facts

What Home Service Pros work with in Jefferson County.

• The houses. Jefferson County has about 7,165 homes and 15,468 people; 67.9% of homes are owner occupied, the median home is worth $93,100, and the typical one was built around 1982 (U.S. Census ACS 2019 to 2023).
• Permits. the Jefferson County Code Enforcement and Building Inspection Department (478-625-4032), 1200 School Street, Louisville. A permit is needed to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish, and the department’s scope names accessory buildings, slabs, driveways and patios. On a new lot the health department signs off on the well and septic first, and the county asks for state licenses from the building contractor, electrician, HVAC and plumber.
• Utilities. Water and sewer from the City of Louisville (water, sewer and natural gas) and the other towns inside their limits; wells and septic elsewhere, drawing on the Floridan and Cretaceous aquifers; electricity from Jefferson Energy Cooperative (headquartered in Wrens) or Georgia Power, with Washington EMC in part of the county; natural gas from the City of Louisville.
• The ground. Coastal Plain below the fall line, so sandy soils predominate; most of the county drains to the Ogeechee River, with Rocky Comfort Creek at Louisville and a small northern corner draining to Brier Creek.
• Storms. Hurricane Helene crossed the CSRA on September 26 and 27, 2024 with widespread damage to trees and power poles and extended power outages for hundreds of thousands of people; the National Weather Service measured an 82 mph gust at Augusta Regional Airport.
• 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. Louisville, Wrens, Wadley, Bartow, Stapleton, Avera.
• Landmarks. The 1790s Old Market House on the Louisville square, the site of Georgia’s capital from 1796 to 1807, and Ogeechee Crossing Park.
