News Summary

Tallahassee is experiencing a decline in single-family home construction permits, with a notable 9.2% drop in January 2025 compared to the previous year. Only 59 permits were issued, down from 65 a year earlier, reflecting a total value decrease of 17.8%. Despite this slowdown, the city is buzzing with new development proposals, including mixed-use projects, community-focused redevelopment, and expansions of existing facilities. The future remains bright as Tallahassee continues to adapt and evolve amidst these changes.

Tallahassee Takes a Dip in Single-Family Home Construction Permits

Ah, Tallahassee! A city full of vibrant neighborhoods and beautiful parks. But lately, there’s been a bit of a *slowdown* when it comes to single-family home construction. In January 2025, the number of new construction permits issued took a noticeable *plunge*, dropping by 9.2% compared to the previous year.

The Numbers Are In

Last month, only 59 construction permits were issued for single-family homes. That’s six less than the 65 permits approved in January 2024. And the total value of these permits is in the limelight too, standing at $15.2 million for January 2025. Unfortunately, that’s down 17.8% from the impressive $18.5 million in January 2024. Ouch!

Three-Month Trend Shows More Declines

If we zoom out a little and look at the bigger picture, things don’t look too rosy either. Over the three-month span from November 2024 to January 2025, there’s a significant 21.4% decrease in the number of permits issued compared to the same timeframe last year. And when it comes to the average monthly permit value, it saw a fall too, dropping by 18.5% down to $11 million.

Exciting New Developments on the Horizon

Community-Focused Redevelopment

12 townhomes and ample parking. The discussions are still in the *preliminary stages*, but there’s a strong emphasis on creating something that truly fits the needs of the community.

More Mixed-Use Developments Coming

1,900 new homes along with significant commercial development to Tallahassee. Plus, the Bradford Hills project on 150 acres off Thomasville Road is gearing up to break ground on Phase 1 early this year.
