Serving Ocala and Marion County
Ocala is the county seat of Marion County, the heart of Florida’s horse country. Marion County covers a lot of ground, from the parks along US 441 and US 27 to homes on rural tracts near the Ocala National Forest, Dunnellon and Fort McCoy, and manufactured homes are a big part of the housing mix across all of it.
Rural lots mean homes that may have been set long ago, moved, or added onto over the years. We see porches and additions tied into homes that were never re-anchored, piers that have shifted on soft ground, and straps that were never re-tensioned after a home was releveled. A free inspection tells you where your Marion County home stands before a buyer’s inspector or insurer does.
Marion County wind zone & storm notes
Marion County is in HUD Wind Zone II. Every Florida county is in Wind Zone II or III, so even inland homes are built and anchored for high wind. Being in the middle of the state doesn’t take Marion County off the storm map. The National Hurricane Center notes that Hurricane Ian (2022) produced historic freshwater flooding across much of central and northern Florida after landfall, and long-lasting rain can soften the ground your piers and anchors depend on.
Wind zones: 24 CFR 3280.305.
A tip for Ocala homeowners
If you’ve added a porch, carport or room onto your Marion County home, tell us when you call. We’ll check how the addition is supported and whether it’s affecting level or loading the home’s tie-downs unevenly, since that’s a common source of cracked panels and sticking doors.
