The median home in the city of Provo was built in 1983, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Utah median of 1992.1 About 46% of Provo's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Provo are of similar age: median build years 1983 and 1983.1 Most housing units in Provo are not detached houses: 36% are in buildings of five or more units and only 38% are detached single-family homes.1 With most units in multi-family buildings, condo and HOA approvals sit alongside the permit for interior work.

Renters are the clear majority in Provo: only 39% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Provo is valued at $467,200 (ACS), close to the Utah median of $489,400.1 Winters are long: the Provo Byu station averages 111 nights a year at or below 32°F and 30 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions.

Summers run hot, with about 74 days a year at 90°F or more and 9 at 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 low, about 17 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Snowfall averages about 45 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope. Heating dominates the year: about 4,968 heating degree days against 1,205 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.

Provo sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Provo are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
