Oceana County, MI Roof Snow Load - Case Study Area
Oceana County, MI: missing from the map query
The ASCE 7 map service returned no feature at Oceana County's survey point - this happens for a small number of shoreline counties (386 nationally are unrated for one reason or another) whose reference point falls just outside every mapped polygon. Not the same thing as a Case Study area - the map likely has a real value a few hundred feet away.

The figure above assumes the case ASCE 7-22 treats as typical: a heated, ordinary-occupancy home on a partially exposed site. Change any of those - exposure, heating, roof pitch, occupancy category - and the real design number moves.
A building permit needs the number at your exact address, not the county average - the free ASCE 7 Hazard Tool returns that from your coordinates in about a minute and produces a PDF a plan reviewer will accept. See the methodology guide.
