Permits, power and roofs in Troup County

LaGrange, West Point and Hogansville each issue permits inside their limits, and Troup County handles the unincorporated areas, including Mountville, Abbottsford and the lake country. Because the three cities sell their own power, a reinstall inside them goes through a city utility, while homes outside are usually on Diverse Power, with Coweta-Fayette EMC and Carroll EMC in parts of the county. Newer subdivisions around LaGrange and West Point are mostly shingle over trusses, and older housing includes 1950s ranches and farmhouses with metal roofs. On January 12, 2023, an EF2 tornado tracked from southern LaGrange east to Mountville, and spring storms remain the main threat to arrays across the county.

East of LaGrange, around Mountville, some owners are still sorting out roofs, trees and arrays damaged by the 2023 tornado. Near West Point Lake, houses sit on wooded lots where pine straw piles up under panels and shade creeps in a little more each year. In Hogansville and West Point, older homes on city power raise a different question: what the city utility needs before a system goes back into service.
