Residential fences in Port St. Lucie must be chain link, wood, masonry or stone, aluminum, vinyl-coated or polyester powder steel, ornamental, or imitation wood. Chicken wire and barbed wire are prohibited in residential districts.
Port St. Lucie Code of Ordinances Section 158.216(A) (Construction) lists the only permitted residential fence materials: chain link, wood, masonry or stone, aluminum, vinyl coated steel or polyester powder steel, and ornamental and imitation wood fences. Chicken wire and barbed wire fences are not permitted in residential districts. Vinyl coated welded wire may be used only as an interface placed on an existing wooden fence, inside its common boundaries, to provide additional security. The same subsection restricts placement in easements: masonry or stone walls are prohibited in utility and drainage easements on single-family residential property unless the zoning administrator and City Engineer approve a specific waiver, and any metal or wood fence located in a utility or drainage easement must be constructed to be easily removable. For fencing used as landscape material under Section 158.216(H), the material is further limited to wood, masonry, stone, vinyl, or metal picket.
The Code Compliance Division can require removal of prohibited materials such as barbed wire or chicken wire in residential districts. Non-removable masonry or metal fencing placed in utility or drainage easements without a waiver may have to be relocated or made removable at the owner's expense.
