The median home in the city of Taylor was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Williamson County median of 2006.1 About 52% of Taylor's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 12% since 2010. The largest single share, 26%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Williamson County as a whole (9% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Taylor are of similar age: median build years 1979 and 1979.1

Housing in Taylor is mostly detached single-family: 85% of units, with 5% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 75% of occupied homes in Taylor are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Taylor is valued at $285,800 (ACS), close to the Texas median of $283,800. Within Williamson County the median is $447,000, so Taylor sits below it.1

The Austin-Camp Mabry station averages 12 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 123 days a year reach 90°F and 29 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 36 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,290 cooling degree days against 1,442 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. Taylor sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4

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