Port St. Lucie caps residential fences at 6 feet measured from ground level. Decorative fencing used as landscape material in the front-yard area is limited to 4 feet, and pool barrier fences must be 4 to 6 feet tall.
Port St. Lucie Code of Ordinances Section 158.216(B) (Height) provides that no residential fence shall be of a height greater than six (6) feet from the ground level, and that this limitation is not intended to apply to enclosures surrounding or part of recreational or sporting facilities, which the zoning administrator evaluates individually. Section 158.216(H) allows segments of fencing as landscape treatment in the area from the front building line to the front property line, but caps that material at four (4) feet in height with a two-foot break required for each twenty feet of length. Where a fence serves as a swimming pool barrier, Section 158.216(G)(2) requires a minimum of four (4) feet and a maximum of six (6) feet in height. A separate sight-distance rule (Section 158.204) prohibits any fence between two and six feet above the road crown within the corner sight triangle.
Fence height violations are enforced by the Neighborhood Services Code Compliance Division; the City lists unpermitted or non-compliant fences among common residential code violations. Building over the 6-foot limit without zoning-administrator approval can result in a notice of violation, required modification or removal, and code enforcement penalties.
