February had 31 permits
Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter says February construction in Putnam County was not bad, “considering all the winter weather and shortened month.”
February had 31 permits for $6.4 million in construction and $25,643 in fees.
“17 of those were for new single-family homes. In comparison, February 2025 had 38 permits for $10.2 million with 24 of those being new single-family homes, but that was an unusually large February,” according to Porter.
“Remember these are numbers for Putnam County that do not include any of the four cities,” according to Porter.
