Olivehurst sits about four miles south-southeast of Marysville, near where the Yuba and Feather Rivers meet. It was settled largely during the Great Depression by families from the Midwest, which is why some streets carry Oklahoma city names, and its post office opened in 1941. Today it's home to about 16,600 people, and about 81% of its homes are detached single-family houses.
Census estimates show two big building eras: the 1970s and before, and the 2000s, with the median home built around 1983. On the older homes, we mostly see dry rot in fascia and trim, worn siding, bathrooms with years of hidden leaks, and decks past their life. On the 2000s homes, the builder-grade parts are wearing out: faucets, toilets, light fixtures, carpet and fans.
Permits in Olivehurst
Olivehurst is unincorporated, so permits go through the Yuba County Building Department at 915 8th Street in Marysville. Olivehurst also shares the 95961 ZIP code with Plumas Lake, so a mailing address alone doesn't tell you much about jurisdiction. We confirm which rules apply to your property and pull the county permit when the job needs one.
