St. Lucie County LDC 8.00.04.A sets the baseline: fences must be permitted, meet the Florida Building Code, be built in a workmanlike and sturdy manner, and stay maintained in a safe, sound condition free of graffiti. Cross-visibility at driveways and corners must be preserved.
Under St. Lucie County LDC 8.00.04.A, fences, gates and walls must comply with industry standards and the Florida Building Code, obtain permits before construction, be built per the reviewed plans, be of sound and sturdy construction, and be maintained in a safe manner free of graffiti. The section's requirements are minimums and do not supersede state fence rules, including pool-barrier requirements. Entry columns may exceed height by one foot, and driveway access gates must sit at least 22 feet from the roadway edge to preserve cross-visibility.
Fences in disrepair, covered in graffiti, or blocking sight lines can be cited as code violations and ordered repaired or removed.
