In unincorporated St. Lucie County, minimum front, side and rear yard setbacks are set by zoning district in LDC Table 7-10 (LDC 7.04.01.B). Setbacks are measured from the base building line. Port St. Lucie sets corner-lot side setbacks of 15 to 25 feet by lot width.
St. Lucie County LDC 7.04.01.B requires structures to meet the minimum lot area, width and yard setbacks in Table 7-10 for their zoning district, though unsupported roof overhangs may encroach up to 30 inches into a required yard. Setbacks are measured from the base building line, which is 30 feet from centerline on unlisted roads (LDC 7.04.04). In Port St. Lucie, Code 158.203 requires a 15-foot side street setback for corner lots under 90 feet wide, 20 feet for lots 90 to 100 feet, and 25 feet for lots over 100 feet wide.
Structures built inside a required setback need a variance; without one, the county can deny permits or require removal of the encroachment.
